Justin Trudeau says his leadership is not in danger as Liberals brace for revolt

  • Justin Trudeau says his leadership is not in danger as Liberals brace for revolt

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says his leadership of the Liberal party is not in danger, even as members of his caucus prepare to confront him Wednesday in the hopes of convincing him to step down.

He brushed off those concerns as he headed into his regular Tuesday meeting with cabinet ministers.

While members of the cabinet have defended Trudeau staying on as leader, a number of Liberal MPs have signed onto a letter that aims to convince him to step aside before the next election.

It's not clear how many members of Trudeau's team of MPs plan to confront him, or exactly what their message will be.

So far Charlottetown MP Sean Casey is the only Liberal to publicly say that he has signed the letter. 

Immigration Minister Marc Miller says the MPs' plans are "garbage" and the issue is taking time away from the Liberal fight against Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives.
