Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has repeatedly said he has no plans to resign, insisting he will lead the Liberal Party of Canada into the next election, currently set for October 2025.

But after months of dismal polls, the pressure on him is mounting after his party failed to keep a formerly safe Liberal Toronto riding in a June byelection, signalling growing unpopularity with this government among Canadians. The loss prompted calls for Trudeau to step down from former Liberal ministers, former British Columbia premier Christy Clark, and current MPs within his own caucus.
