Longtime Liberal MP Wayne Long says Prime Minister Justin Trudeau should give more weight to the views of his backbenchers in determining his future leading the Party, rather than relying on those in his immediate orbit.
“Seriously, get away from your inner circle,” Long told CTV’s Question Period host Vassy Kapelos, in an interview airing Sunday. “I don’t want to name names, but get away from people, because obviously, prime ministers are somewhat insulated.”
Those sources also told CTV News at least two dozen MPs told Trudeau they’d like him to step aside during the meeting, over the course of the first ninety minutes.
But in a press conference fewer than 18 hours later, Trudeau was adamant he’s running again, a statement which caught some in his caucus, including Long, by surprise.
“I think we had hoped for serious reflection,” he told Kapelos. “Reflection in 18 hours tells me the Prime Minister, with respect, already had his mind made up.”
At least biden knew he would cost the election.
Jt is handing it to the cons.
Fucking idiot.
There is nothing the liberals can do to alter the next election. They have 10 years of baggage and a different face isn’t going to change how the electorate feels about that. First past the post will ensure the liberals don’t form a government after the next election.
I’m holding out hope that he might step down at the last minute like Biden did. Biden was also very against the idea until suddenly he wasn’t
That’s the frustrating part. He’s willing to sell out the nation to pad his own ego, and sentence us to another fucked up Con gov’t.
Seems Sophie was on to something.
Libs need a divorce from jt.
I’ve always wondered if him choosing to run again was the cause of that.
