A growing number of Liberal MPs say the national caucus needs to meet as soon as possible to discuss the fallout of this week’s tough byelection loss in Toronto and that the gathering can’t wait until the retreat scheduled for the end of the summer.
One Liberal MP told CBC News that if the caucus waits until that early September meeting to regroup and reset, “we will be writing our obituary.”
The stunning loss in the Toronto-St. Paul’s byelection on Monday has fuelled conversations inside the Liberal caucus about the future prospects of the party, the tenability of Justin Trudeau’s leadership and the effectiveness of the political team that surrounds the prime minister.
