For the sake of saving the Liberal Party, Trudeau should step down IMHO. Hanging on for dear life with the current state of unrest will not endear him, and if anything will work against him. The time is now or never. Some say there is no one other than Trudeau who can lead the party but I believe that is disingenuous. There are several capable candidates in the party who could weather the storm and stop the bleeding. Trudeau, despite the howls that may ensue, is NOT our savior. There is nothing special about the man - at all. Do us all a favour and take that walk. For me, it'll mean that I might regain the party I stopped voted for in 2019. Each of us has our own reasons for our motives and our opinions and I respect that so I am not dissing anyone who feels differently. I simply don't want to see the Liberal party decimated which I do believe is a possibility at this point.

It can't go on like this. It's not only the dissatisfaction of voters. And, yes, of course, the attacks from the Cons are simply opportunist, we know that. But that doesn't change the fact that Trudeau has lost the people, and they're not coming back. People's disenchantment, anxiety and anger are real and ignoring them is foolish. True, Trudeau's not responsible for most of the ills he's accused of, but he has committed and continues to commit the unforgivable sin: he stopped listening. He never was good at it, but once he could play the crowd, even if the numbers were diminishing. Now the secret is out that he's not listening to his own caucus. Many MPs must be furious that their leader is likely to lose them their seat in the next election. Trudeau's not known for his loyalty, to his team or to his word. It's come back to bite him.
