Trudeau Faces Ultimatum from Liberal MPs

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is facing internal pressure from 24 Liberal Party MPs who have given him an ultimatum to step down by October 28. The MPs are dissatisfied with his handling of domestic issues and his controversial statement blaming India for the killing of a Canadian citizen without concrete evidence. The Liberal Party is significantly trailing the Conservatives by nearly 20 points in polls, raising concerns of a potential electoral disaster. Despite the pressure and lack of a clear successor, Trudeau remains determined to lead the party into the next federal elections. Secret meetings by dissatisfied MPs and the loss of two traditionally safe constituencies have heightened the urgency for change, as Trudeau's approval ratings continue to decline amid economic challenges and policy missteps. However, there is no formal mechanism for the MPs to force his resignation.
