‘Oh well,’ the Canadian leader said in response to Senator Percy Downe’s comment that it would be prudent for the prime minister to step aside.
(LifeSiteNews) – After a top Liberal Party of Canada stalwart-turned-senator said the Liberal Party under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau needs to look for a new leader, Trudeau smugly brushed off the idea of stepping down by saying “Oh well.”
Late last week, a reporter asked Trudeau about recent comments made by Senator Percy Downe, who served as former Liberal Prime Minister Jean Chrétien’s chief of staff from 2001 to 2003. Downe was appointed a senator by Chrétien in 2003.
In an opinion piece for National Newswatch last Wednesday, Downe said that the “prudent course of action” is for another “Liberal Leader to rise from the impressive Liberal caucus and safeguard those policies [Trudeau] was actually able to accomplish.”
In response to the reporter asking him about Downe’s comments, Trudeau appeared smug, replying, “Oh well.”
“Listen to this, I wish him all the best in the work that he’s doing,” he added.
Liberal Senator and PM Jean Chrétien’s former Chief of Staff Percy Downe wants Justin Trudeau to quit. When asked about this, Trudeau said, “Oh well. Listen to this, I wish him all the best in the work that he’s doing.” 🤡
