Trudeau’s future in question as Hamilton MP calls for change

A Hamilton Liberal MP is telling CHCH tonight that almost half of the party’s members of Parliament could be ready to oppose Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as leader.

Trudeau has been facing growing calls for his resignation, but he seems to be dismissing the concerns as little more than a family squabble among Liberals.

The leadership crisis for Trudeau, which erupted when Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland suddenly quit on Dec. 16 over the way she was being treated by the Prime Minister.

Hamilton East-Stoney Creek MP Chad Collins is saying there could be an exodus of MPs from the Liberal Party if Trudeau doesn’t step down.

As for Collins, he doesn’t have anything bad to say about Trudeau, only that he’s been around for almost ten years and people want a change.

He also says history will be kind to Trudeau, considering his record on issues like climate change.

The Prime Minister is reported to be taking some time to reflect on his future.
