Liberals stand by Trudeau after Toronto-St. Paul’s by-election loss

Questions are swirling about the future of Canada’s federal Liberal party and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, after the party's surprising by-election loss in their longtime stronghold riding of Toronto-St. Paul's.

The Liberals had held that federal electoral district since 1993, when former prime minister Jean Chrétien first came into power.

Global’s Mackenzie Gray reports on the public sentiments of support for Trudeau and what polls are saying voters' thoughts on potential successors to him.

Fighting for their pensions is all, don't care about Canadians

[reksam]

stand by him? it's more like fall down with him

[jerryseeley]

I hope Trudeau stays on. By the end of the next election all the Liberals who keep their seats can meet in a coffee shop in a booth and talk over how great a guy their former boss was. Should be about 4 or 5 of them left.

No one wants to Change CANADA.. its been the best country for decades until JT took over.

[trollthedicey]

Trudeau staying with the Liberals is the greatest thing to happen to the conservative party

[anthonycyr]

They would all rather go down with the ship than stand up for themselves and Canadians.

"I challenge anyone to visit places like Glace Bay and see what's really happening on the ground in Canada". She talks like we don't live here. Like we're not actually "on the ground", in our communities, talking about these out of touch elites turning their noses up every time they step up to a microphone.

Let the unemployable Narcissist run in the next election. After he loses, he can hang around the WEF like a bad rash, and take vacations on his own dime.

9 years ago Canada’s homelessness, drug addictions, business failures and personal bankruptcies, national debts and carbon emissions pollution.... 9 years later today, these issues and more are worsened at an alarming level.... that is why there is rapid rise of ANGRY CANADIANS. They are educated, intelligent, well read and not wanting to let Canada worsen even more. The Angry Canadians are not COLD, CRUEL and SMALL people, they are our neighbors, families, colleagues, friends and Community members.

These people are not listening as they say

[JoeMama-przj]

"Hes still the most important leader of this generation to make a transformational change in this country" turning Canada into India?

[muffingaming]

Standing with Trudeau shows you dont stand with Canada.

[jeil]

Get rid of liberal finance and immigration ministers too. The absolute worst destroying the country.

[linnjensen]

They can stand by him all they want they are all done done done

[cdpgbc-mwkz]

Well, as they say, Stupid is as Stupid does. These MP's are living proof that this quote is true.

[NaviSall-rr]

From sea to sea Canada will again be free! 🇨🇦

[JamesBiggar]

They're still too full of themselves to see what's coming. Partisans live in bubbles. Most Canadians are moderates and their votes will swing either way they see fit, and these people are not fit for office. None of the parties are, really. But we've had enough of listening to JT. He triggers a gag reflex. Time to move on.

When Bonnie Crombie, the Ontario Liberal Leader openly admits distancing herself from Trudeau, you know you're in trouble.

[wifferstess]

I don't know whether to laugh or gag watching these clowns embarrass themselves.

No one in Hitler's inner circle challenged him. Same with Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao Zedong, Castro and all other dictators. Same as Trudeau.
