The recent internal dissent within the Canadian Liberal Party highlights growing frustrations with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s leadership. At a closed-door meeting, Liberal MPs urged Trudeau to step down, presenting a document advocating for his resignation ahead of the next federal election. This pressure comes as the party faces internal divisions and declining support, with 24 MPs reportedly signing an agreement urging Trudeau to resign by October 28. While some MPs voiced support for the prime minister, a significant number of dissenting voices see new leadership as necessary for the party’s resurgence.
The political tension is also exacerbated by Trudeau’s handling of Canada’s strained relations with India. Diplomatic ties between the two countries soured after Trudeau publicly accused India of involvement in the murder of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a claim India has dismissed as baseless. This issue has further complicated Trudeau’s leadership as some within his party express concerns about the fallout from these allegations.
As the October 28 deadline approaches, Trudeau faces a critical decision that could shape the future of both his leadership and the Liberal Party.
