Although questions over Trudeau\u2019s political future are mounting, no alternative leader for the party has stepped forward to oppose him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">In his ninth year as prime minister, Trudeau is deeply unpopular and facing calls within his party to step down to avoid an embarrassing electoral loss that could push the party to a distant third-place finish.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/newsinteractives.cbc.ca\/elections\/poll-tracker\/canada\/\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">CBC Poll Tracker shows<\/a> the Conservatives have a nearly 20-point lead over the governing Liberals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Two by-election results over the summer gave wary lawmakers even more reason to question Trudeau\u2019s future tenure as leader: the party <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2024\/sep\/17\/justin-trudeau-future-liberal-party-loses-montreal-election\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">lost the riding<\/a> of LaSalle\u2013\u00c9mard\u2013Verdun, a district that had been held almost exclusively by Liberals for more than 50 years and months earlier lost a safe seat in downtown Toronto.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">The losses reflect a souring public opinion of Trudeau\u2019s government: the cost of living has surged alongside a housing shortage, and policy failures and mismanagement have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/article\/2024\/sep\/03\/canada-trudeau-immigration-limits\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">eroded strong support for immigration<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Trudeau has nonetheless said he intends to contest \u2013 and win \u2013 the next federal election, which would happen anytime before fall of 2025.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Leaving Wednesday\u2019s three-hour meeting, senior figures in cabinet reiterated their support for the embattled prime minister. Immigration minister Marc Miller, a key ally of Trudeau, said he expects the Liberal leader to contest the next election against Tory rival Poilievre.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cThis isn\u2019t a code red situation. The prime minister can sure as hell handle the truth,\u201d he said, adding he \u201crespects the hell out of my colleagues who were brave and stood up and said things to [Trudeau\u2019s] face\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Other MPs suggested Trudeau might keep the confidence of the party if he and his inner circle were to make significant changes to how they\u2019re handling both policy and messaging.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cThe prime minister has to listen to the frustrations \u2013 in some cases, very valid frustrations of caucus colleagues \u2013 and incorporate that into changes moving forward,\u201d said Liberal MP Nathaniel Erskine-Smith.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Trudeau said little when he emerged from the caucus gathering, except to tell reporters: \u201cThe Liberal party is strong and united.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2024\/oct\/23\/justin-trudeau-canada-pressured-to-resign\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Disgruntled members of Canada\u2019s Liberal party have given Justin Trudeau an ultimatum: decide early next week if you want to stay on as leader, or face the prospects of a &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=117738\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-117738","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-world","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117738","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=117738"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117738\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=117738"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=117738"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=117738"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
