Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Party recently suffered a setback by losing a byelection in Montreal, a seat that was traditionally secure for them. This loss, combined with their defeat in Toronto in June and Trudeau’s declining approval ratings, could signal a potential exit for Trudeau in 2025.
In the past three months, Trudeau’s Liberal Party has lost two significant byelections: Montreal and Toronto, both of which have been strongholds for the Liberals for over three decades. Experts suggest that if Trudeau doesn’t step down, his chances in the 2025 elections are bleak.
The recent Montreal byelection, held on September 16, saw the Bloc Québécois claim victory, raising concerns about Trudeau’s popularity, as noted by The New York Times. In Toronto, the Conservatives triumphed over the Liberals for the first time since 2011.
