Calls for Trudeau’s resignation grow following Toronto byelection defeat

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is facing mounting pressure to resign following the loss of a Liberal stronghold to the Conservatives in a byelection in Toronto-St. Paul’s. Former environment minister Catherine McKenna and backbench MP Wayne Long have both expressed the opinion that it is time for the party to find a new leader after this embarrassing defeat.

Trudeau, however, has been dodging questions about his leadership in the wake of this defeat. There are growing calls from within the party for him to step aside, with concerns arising about his ability to lead effectively. The loss of a key riding to the opposition has sparked speculation about Trudeau’s future as leader of the Liberal party.

As the calls for Trudeau to resign grow louder, it is important to consider who else is joining in on this sentiment and who is still standing by the Prime Minister. The defeat in the Toronto byelection has undoubtedly put Trudeau’s leadership under scrutiny, and it remains to be seen how he will navigate these calls for his resignation.

The loss of a long-standing Liberal stronghold to the Conservatives has dealt a significant blow to Trudeau and his party. The outcome of the Toronto-St. Paul’s byelection has raised questions about the direction of the Liberal party under Trudeau’s leadership. The Prime Minister is now facing a critical moment in his tenure, with increasing pressure to consider stepping down in light of this defeat.
