Dozens of MPs in Justin Trudeau’s Liberal party have now agreed that Canada’s embattled prime minister must abandon his post after last week’s catastrophic resignation of his deputy – a sign he has completely lost support from what were crucial loyalists.

Several Canadian media outlets, including the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and the Toronto Star, reported over the weekend that 51 of Ontario’s Liberal MPs met virtually and agreed collectively that Trudeau’s time in office has expired.

The people voted for these representatives to represent them and their opinions for them.

How many options do you think we have to vote for?

There is no one that has my views on the issues I care about to represent me in anyway that reflects my wishes.

And lobbyists exist here as well…
