A growing group of Ontario Liberal Members of Parliament is calling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to step down as party leader, citing concerns about the party’s declining popularity and the need for a fresh approach ahead of the next federal election.

In a letter circulated among caucus members, several MPs emphasized that “time is of the essence” for the Liberal Party to reposition itself and regain the confidence of Canadians. They argue that new leadership could help rebuild voter trust and address mounting criticism over Trudeau’s handling of key issues, including the economy, housing, and foreign relations.

While no official statement has been made by Trudeau, the internal dissent reflects rising tensions within the party as polls show a significant dip in public support. Party insiders suggest the movement could gain traction if Trudeau fails to respond decisively in the coming weeks.

Political analysts say the call for Trudeau to step aside underscores the urgency within the Liberal Party to make strategic changes amid growing challenges from opposition parties. Whether Trudeau heeds the call remains to be seen, but the push from Ontario MPs signals a critical juncture for his leadership and the party’s future.
