Economy 53,090 Posted December 23, 2024 Share Posted December 23, 2024 https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/more-than-50-liberal-mps-leave-call-with-consensus-prime-minister-justin-trudeau-should-step-down-cbc The number of Liberal MPs (Members of Parliament) calling for Trudeau to resign has bow reached 50! Thats about 1/3 of Government publicly calling for Trudeau to step down Trudeau continues to avoid answering if he will step down or not continuing to say what hes been saying for the last week, that he will "reflect on it".

PartySick 174,285 Posted December 23, 2024 Share Posted December 23, 2024 Is this literally all 'cause Canada's economy isn't doing great? I missed the memo Whimsical bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatigay 21,232 Posted December 23, 2024 Share Posted December 23, 2024 I think now that he, too, will take his 'Walk In The Snow', like his father did decades ago, and resign after the holidays... 2025 about to be the wildest political year in a while. I hope Singh resigns too. The NDP (social democrats) are so, so low in the polls. There's no way that HE can bring them back to an acceptable score. He's too linked to Trudeau now because of the deal they had. We need a fresh face and new ideas for the Left. Especially since now the Conservatives are leading with what could look like a majority of 230+ MPs, while the majority threshold is 172.. And the official opposition would not be the Liberals, but, as of today, the Bloc Québecois, a Québec-exclusive party ! Our situation would be like, for my UK fellow-people, if the SNP was the official opposition, a few seats ahead of Labour. That'd be wild. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALGAYDO 35,402 Posted December 23, 2024 Share Posted December 23, 2024 Not me reading “MPGs” in the title of this thread and thinking, “damn, I didn’t know so many of our pop girlies were so interested in Canadian politics” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed the memo Canada has massively stagnated for the past decade. Not only is the economy not moving forward, housing continues to be a massive issue. It also doesn’t help that the liberal government has let in a ton of immigrants in the past few years when our education, healthcare, and social welfare systems aren’t equipped to handle this. trolly troll troll Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow 6,707 Posted December 23, 2024 Share Posted December 23, 2024 I just learned there are no term limits for Canadian politicians, including the prime minister. If Justin Trudeau refuses to resign, can he be impeached? Stand in the light, cast your shadow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed the memo I think the economy and cost of living crisis is definitely 90% of it Also housing crisis and resentment over letting such a huge number of immigrants in but again that ties back to economic impacts Id say to a lesser extent crumbling healthcare quality is a big one too, but the economy is definitely by far the biggest thing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the deal they had also hurt the NDP in the sense that it made the NDP seem oppirtunist, keeping the Liberals in power just so they could keep a degree of power Jagmeet did not want to end the coalition because they know they will get creamed in the next election likely with a Conservative majority but its become so obvious thats the reason they were putting it off and the NDP are looking so bad that Jagmeet has practically been backed into a corner and forced to finally comit to a non confidence vote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And new elections are automatically called . Im also gonna add @Shadow that even tho theres no technical limit its extremely rare for a Party or Prime Minister to stay in Power for more than a decade anyway as historically the Liberals and Conservatives switch places every 9-10 years max Trudeau at over 9 years is there for among the longer lasting Prime Ministers only a handful in history (including his father Pierre Trudeau) managed to stay on longer than 10 years... so even tho our laws dont have a limit like the US 8 year limit, we typically dont have a leader last significantly more than that anyway cuz they always get voted out eventually when ppl tire of them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
