According to information obtained by CBC News, around 20 members of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party have signed a document calling on him to be removed as party leader and prime minister. This comes as pressure builds on Trudeau due to growing anxiety among Liberal Members of Parliament (MPs), especially following two recent disastrous defeats in by-elections in "safe" Liberal electoral districts in Toronto and Montreal. Disgruntled Liberal MPs held a series of meetings to discuss a path forward for the party since the surprising Toronto-St. Paul's by-election loss in June. (Related: Trudeau willing to make a deal with Quebec nationalists to prevent snap election.) Those talks accelerated with Parliament's return and the Montreal by-election loss. They escalated further when the prime minister and his chief of staff, Katie Telford, left Canada for a summit in Asia. Some MPs reportedly were asked to sign their names to what amounts to a pledge to stand together in calling for Trudeau to resign, according to multiple CBC News sources. According to the reported sources, the document is not merely a letter, but rather a "vehicle to secure commitment" for a change in leadership in the floundering Liberal Party, which is likely to experience a devastating loss in the next general election slated in October 2025. The document is reportedly being tightly guarded, with no copies or photos being circulated.

Liberal MP Sean Casey: Trudeau's time as leader has ended

In addition to the clandestine document, others have begun to publicly decry Trudeau's leadership and call for his resignation. Earlier this week, Liberal MP Sean Casey of Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, told CBC News that Trudeau's time as leader has ended, making him the second MP this week to make such a declaration. "My job has always been to project the voice of the people I represent in Ottawa, to be Charlottetown’s representative in Ottawa, and not the reverse," he said. "And the message that I’ve been getting loud and clear and more and more strongly as time goes by is that it's time for him to go. And I agree." Casey's statement echoes Montreal Liberal MP Anthony Housefather who told CTV News that it is time for the Liberal Party to discuss who will lead them into the 2025 election. "I support whoever is leader in my party at all times," he said. "But that doesn't mean there shouldn't be a robust caucus discussion about who the best person to lead us in the next election is, and that discussion should happen in caucus. It shouldn't happen in the media." Calls for Trudeau's resignation come on top of the numerous Liberal MPs, including former cabinet ministers, who have vacated their seats or who have announced that they will not be running for reelection. In addition to calls from the political class for Trudeau's resignation, or at the very least their distancing themselves from his leadership, Canadian citizens have also had enough of the prime minister's tyrannical rule over the country. Trudeau's trampling of basic freedoms, reckless spending and endless lies have finally woken up Canadians to the state of the nation. Polls continue to uncover the aversion of Canadians toward the current government, whether it be the 70 percent who believe the country is "broken," or the majority of citizens who report being worse off financially since Trudeau took office.
