Liberal Party Shakes Up Campaign Leadership Amid Calls for Trudeau’s Resignation

 

In a significant move, the Liberal Party of Canada has announced the appointment of Andrew Bevan as the new campaign director. This decision comes at a time when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is facing mounting internal pressure to step down.
