Ontario Liberal MPs Urge Trudeau to Resign Amidst Internal Turmoil

In a recent virtual meeting, over 50 Ontario Liberal MPs reached a consensus that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau should step down as party leader. This decision comes in the wake of Chrystia Freeland's dramatic resignation from her cabinet positions, which has intensified calls for Trudeau's departure.

Freeland's resignation letter, posted on social media, highlighted her disagreements with Trudeau and warned against "costly political gimmicks" that could harm the country. Her departure has prompted several Liberal MPs to publicly support her potential leadership bid.

As the Ontario Liberal caucus chair, Michael Coteau, was tasked with communicating the MPs' decision to Trudeau, the prime minister is now believed to be reflecting on his political future. The situation remains fluid, with MPs expressing varying opinions on how long Trudeau should be given to consider his next steps.
