Liberal Caucus Faces Crucial Meeting Amid Calls for Trudeau's Resignation

The Liberal caucus is set to convene on Wednesday, January 8, 2025, as pressure mounts for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to step down. This meeting, called by Liberal national caucus chair Brenda Shanahan, comes in response to growing discontent within the party.

The calls for Trudeau's resignation have intensified following the abrupt resignation of Chrystia Freeland as deputy prime minister and finance minister last month. Liberal MPs from various regions, including Ontario, Quebec, and the Atlantic provinces, have publicly urged Trudeau to resign. Winnipeg South Centre MP Ben Carr recently joined the chorus, citing conversations with constituents and colleagues as the basis for his decision.

The upcoming caucus meeting will be a hybrid event, allowing MPs to participate virtually under strict confidentiality conditions. The meeting aims to address the leadership crisis and determine the party's future direction as opposition parties prepare to introduce a non-confidence motion in the House of Commons.

The outcome of this meeting could significantly impact the Liberal Party's strategy and leadership as they navigate the challenges of 2025 and beyond.
