Bulk of Liberal caucus wants Trudeau gone, Liberal MP says
By Quinn Patrick, True North Wire
Liberal MP Anthony Housefather says the “vast majority” of MPs within his party want to see Prime Minister Justin Trudeau resign immediately.
Housefather had already previously stated his desire to see Trudeau step down but now says that sentiment is felt by a growing number of MPs who’ve privately called for him to step down ahead of what appears to be an imminent election.
Housefather told Global News in an interview Sunday that “Canadians have clearly lost confidence in him, and Canadians want him to go.”
“It’s clear they’ve tuned him out, and he is not the best person to deliver the message of our party in the next election,” said Housefather.
He fears that if Trudeau remains at the party’s helm, the election will be focused on his leadership, instead of Canadians comparing the Liberals’ policies against those of the Conservatives and the NDP.
