Trudeau faces calls to resign after Toronto byelection loss

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is dodging questions about the embarrassing loss of a Liberal stronghold to the Conservatives.

Trudeau’s former environment minister Catherine McKenna and a backbench MP Wayne Long say its time for the party to find a new leader, after the Liberals’ stunning defeat by the Conservatives in the Toronto-St. Paul’s byelection.

David Akin looks at who else is calling for Trudeau to stand aside and who is standing by him.

Trudeau has no legacy to be proud of. Such bull.

Hey, Justin, it's not Poilievre making people angrier. It's you.

[RoMil-zf]

Worse nine years in Canada's history

"Trudeau faces calls to resign after Toronto byelection loss", he can't hear you, he's too busy counting -your- his money.

CALL AN ELECTION, Justin, before your party fires you.

I puke a bit in my mouth every time Fancy Socks is called "Honourable".

[edwardgreenhalgh]

For the love of God and to save Canada, if there are ethical Liberal MPs they must cross the floor and bring down this awful government so Canada can have an election.

Pushing tampons on schoolboys is a strange PM.

[BarbaraCorbett-zemy]

Trudeau is a slime ball through and through.

[jeepstuff]

Canadians have wanted him to resign for many years. He’s a narcissist

[marianmurphy]

It'd be great if they could get out Justin Trudeau

[BarbaraCorbett-zemy]

Poilievere has no need to talk. He won, Justin didn’t.

[georgiaborgford]

Those libs aren't very good liars...

[afar]

He’s going to steal and damage as much as he can on his way out

[crisc]

I want Trudeau out and also all his tyrants. Freeland has no place. I want her out

[johngraham-knuf]

How can Trudeau be the hardest working when he's always taking holidays

[lerviniapetersen]

Please please do.. that will be a real Happy Canada Day gift - best gift to Canada - give us a resignation!!!

[Greg-cltl]

Trudeau resign? A lot of Canadians would rather see that arrogant fool in jail.

[elusiveaqua]

As much as I dislike Trudeau and Freeland, ousting him isn’t going to redeem Liberal party. It is time for new leadership but not Liberals!

Now even his own MPs are calling on him to resign. Trudeau needs to GO. It's as simple as that.
