Trudeau Faces Renewed Resignation Calls Amid Party Discontent

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is under increasing pressure from within his own party, as Liberal MPs call for his resignation. During a Parliament Hill meeting, dissenters outlined grievances and set an October 28 ultimatum for Trudeau to decide his political future. Internal tensions are exacerbated by Canada-India diplomatic disputes.

Internal discord among Canada's Liberal party members has intensified, with calls for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's resignation escalating during a recent closed-door meeting on Parliament Hill. According to a CBC News report, dissenting MPs voiced growing discontent and outlined their grievances in a pivotal caucus meeting held while the House of Commons is in session.

As Trudeau faces mounting pressure, dissenting MPs issued an ultimatum, pressing him to determine his future by October 28. A document presented in the meeting supported Trudeau's resignation, hinting at a potential Liberal revival akin to the Democrats' surge after President Biden's re-election decision.

Approximately 20 MPs, excluding cabinet ministers, stood to advocate for Trudeau's step-down, while others voiced support for the embattled Prime Minister. Immigration Minister Marc Miller acknowledged the tensions, stressing the importance of addressing concerns directly.

The controversy is further inflamed by worsening Canada-India relations, after Trudeau's 'credible allegations' linking India to the assassination of a Khalistani terrorist. India's outright denial and accusation of Canada fostering extremism have fueled diplomatic tensions and internal party strife.
