Canadian Liberal MPs Urge Trudeau to Step Down as Party Leader

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is facing mounting pressure to resign after regional party officials called for his departure, citing concerns about electoral prospects and potential economic challenges.

In a letter dated December 23, Atlantic Liberal caucus chair Kody Blois urged Trudeau to step down, warning of possible instability from Donald Trump’s threatened 25% tariff on Canadian exports and looming opposition confidence votes.

“Simply put, time is of the essence, and our Caucus is of the view that it is not tenable for you to remain as the Leader, and that we need to allow for the necessary conversations on [the] transition to take place,” Blois wrote in the letter.

New Brunswick Liberal MP Wayne Long told CBC News the letter represents the views of “a clear majority” of Atlantic caucus members outside cabinet. Sources also say that Ontario Liberal caucus members reached a similar conclusion in a separate meeting.

Blois requested an urgent national caucus meeting in early January to discuss succession plans, including the possibility of appointing an interim leader. The letter was also sent to national caucus chair Brenda Shanahan.

The push for Trudeau’s resignation comes after what Blois described as “a difficult week for the Government and the Liberal Party.” Trudeau has led the party for nine years.

Three main opposition parties have indicated they would support a non-confidence vote in the new year, adding pressure on Liberal leadership.
