With current polling supporting the Conservatives - would they welcome a Trudeau resignation?9/10/2023 The Conservative Party of Canada just wrapped up their enthusiastic “common-sense” convention where the party adopted some controversial policies and celebrated high-polling numbers.
According to 338 Canada’s latest federal projections, Conservatives are at a 98% chance of winning the most seats. The party is in majority territory while Prime Minister Trudeau’s support is falling. The Liberal Party is falling in the polls and many say it is caused by Trudeau’s disapproval by Canadians. It raises many questions of whether or not Trudeau could step down in order to prevent a Conservative victory in the next election (scheduled for 2025). There certainly is enough time for the Liberals to hold a leadership race and find a new leader who can effectivley take on Poilievre and his Conservative party. There are many options within the Liberal Party including Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland and many other senior Liberals. Prime Minister Trudeau may be holding back the Liberals and that is a good thing for the Torys. Many anti-Trudeau supporters would just love to see him resign tomorrow but it may not benefit them entirely. With Trudeau struggling, Conservatives are performing well. But if Chrystia Freeland took over, Conservatives would have to face someone new and their progress could be lost. So, it raises the question - does Poilievre and the Conservatives want Trudeau to resign or not? Many may think “anybody but Trudeau”, but if many Canadians want a new government - having Trudeau ride out the remainder of his term could be their best bet.
