Unspecified number of Liberal MPs set to confront Trudeau, ask him to step down
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is facing down his Liberal caucus in a hotly anticipated meeting Wednesday morning, as a group of party members plan to try to convince him to step aside.
Rumours have circulated for weeks about an undisclosed number of Liberal MPs who have signed on to an effort to oust the prime minister in the hopes of improving the party’s chances in the next election.
Trudeau has showed no signs that he plans to step down from the top job.
Newfoundland MP Ken McDonald, who has already said he does not plan to run in the next election, said some of his colleagues who do plan to put their name on the ballot are nervous because of poor polling numbers.
