Pressure Mounts on Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau Amid By-Election Defeat

 

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is currently facing renewed pressure to step down as the leader of the Liberal Party. 

The recent by-election defeat in the Toronto-St. Paul’s riding has sparked calls for his resignation. Former Liberal minister Catherine McKenna has publicly stated that it’s time for the party to find a new leader, emphasizing the need for fresh ideas and energy. Despite this, Trudeau’s current ministers continue to stand by him, even as voters express discontent over housing and inflation.
