‘He’s not getting the message’: Justin Trudeau shrugs off the naysayers as he heads into a Liberal caucus retreat
Trudeau to face caucus amid sinking poll numbers and calls for resignation
Justin Trudeau is heading into a Liberal caucus retreat this week, where he will face his MPs in the wake of sinking poll numbers and calls for his resignation.
The retreat, which will be held in St. Andrews, N.B., comes as the Liberals trail the Conservatives in the polls and Trudeau's personal approval ratings have plummeted.
Some Liberals have called for Trudeau to step down, but he has so far resisted those calls.
Trudeau’s approval ratings have plummeted in recent months
Trudeau's approval ratings have plummeted in recent months, amid a series of scandals and missteps.
A recent poll by Nanos Research found that only 32% of Canadians approve of Trudeau's performance as prime minister.
This is down from a high of 68% in 2015.
Some Liberals have called for Trudeau to step down
Some Liberals have called for Trudeau to step down, arguing that he has lost the public's confidence.
Former Liberal MP Jody Wilson-Raybould said in a recent interview that she believes Trudeau should resign.
"I think it's time for a change," she said.
Trudeau has so far resisted calls to resign
Trudeau has so far resisted calls to resign.
He has said that he is focused on governing and that he believes he can still win the next election.
"I'm not going to let the naysayers get me down," he said in a recent interview.
The Liberal caucus retreat is an opportunity for Trudeau to reset
The Liberal caucus retreat is an opportunity for Trudeau to reset and try to rebuild his relationship with his MPs.
He is expected to give a speech to the caucus on Wednesday, in which he will likely outline his plans for the future.
The retreat is also an opportunity for the Liberals to discuss their strategy for the next election.
The Liberals are trailing the Conservatives in the polls
The Liberals are trailing the Conservatives in the polls, and they need to find a way to turn things around if they want to win the next election.
The Conservatives have been hammering the Liberals on their handling of the economy, and they have also been attacking Trudeau personally.
The Liberals need to find a way to counter these attacks and convince Canadians that they are the best party to lead the country.
