Winnipeg South Centre MP Ben Carr is calling for a change of leadership in the federal Liberal party, becoming the first Manitoba Liberal member of Parliament to call for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to step down.
“I do not arrive at this decision easily, nor do I make it happily,” Carr said in a letter to his constituents on Friday afternoon.
“I felt somehow as though I would be betraying my party,” he said. “As time has passed, however, and the further I reflected on the conversations I have had with those I represent, I concluded that it is in fact the opposite.”
