All's Not Well For Canada PM Justin Trudeau? Know Why His Party Asked Him To Resign By Oct 28

Ottawah: At a time when India-Canada bilateral relations had hit an all-time low after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s allegations of “potential” involvement of Indian agents in the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, Trudeau has been given an ultimatum to step down by October 28. The deadline has been issued not by the opposition, but by the MPs from his own Liberal party.

Why did Liberal MPs ask Justin Trudeau to resign?

According to reports, at least 24 of the 153 Liberal MPs had been meeting secretly to oust Trudeau in an attempt to save their party from a possible poll debacle. Reports claimed that public opinion surveys had indicated that the Liberals were likely to face a poll debacle under Trudeau’s leadership.

Last month, the Liberal Party was defeated in two of its safest constituencies in special polls. The MPs were reportedly upset over the preparations for the upcoming elections, which are due before October 2025.

It has been a decade since Trudeau has been heading the government in Canada. However, his popularity has sunk. The rival Conservatives were ahead of Liberals by 19 points in the last special polls. Fearing a fiasco, at least 24 MPs signed a document seeking Trudeau’s ouster, reports claimed.

However, Trudeau has claimed while speaking to reporters that ‘the Liberal Party’ was ‘strong and united.’
