OTTAWA – Justin Trudeau’s Liberal caucus will meet on Wednesday as calls from MPs mount for the prime minister to step down.

Two Liberal MPs told The Canadian Press that the meeting will take place in Ottawa with the option for attendees to participate virtually.

The meeting was convened on the same day that Manitoba MP Ben Carr shared a letter on social media Friday saying he wants to see Trudeau resign.

In the letter, Carr says that he does not arrive at the decision easily, but constituents tell him they feel alienated by the Liberal Party leadership.

MPs are scheduled to return to Ottawa on Jan. 27, and the three main opposition parties all say they plan to bring down the government at their first opportunity.

The Conservatives plan to introduce a non-confidence motion at the public accounts committee next week that could be up for a vote in the House of Commons as soon as Jan. 30.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Jan. 3, 2025.

Ben Carr has been blindly voting yes to everything Commandant Turdo put forward. For several years. All bad. Destroying the economy, enriching himself and his cronies. Now he has a change of heart?
