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.
Perhaps the smart thing is to find a new leader and go on the counter attack with a new face at the top of the party. I have serious doubt about the viability of this, but reasonable people can disagree about this.
However, there is something in me that I would like to see everybody dissing Trudeau’s chances being completely wrong. Trudeau has faced a non stop barrage of accusations and attacks. Most of them entirely untrue or unfair. The latest examples are postmedia and globe and mail attacking Trudeau for the detoriation of the relationship with India.
Deep down, I am hoping that Trudeau comes out of the caucus meeting with a re-united caucus behind him and the gloves are off vis-a-vis the opposition and the media.
PS what are the chances that this mysterious letter does not exist and that it is another torqued story?

Life isn’t always fair and neither is politics.

As a progressive, I'm ready to head out to the Carneyville.
