Probably:
After nine years as prime minister, Trudeau’s prolonged stay and delayed departure risks everything, including the future of his party. He has to tolerate the growing resentment of his own backbench parliamentarians, their decisions as to whether or not to run again with him at the helm, and the almost certain defeat that awaits the Liberals in 2025.
The recent Toronto-St. Paul's, Ont., byelection should have been Trudeau's warning to vacate his seat for someone else to lead the party, and compete against a rejuvenated, diverse, and well-funded opposition under Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre set to compete with the gloomy, tired and fast-aging Trudeau.
The Liberal Party is not like the NDP. It does not tolerate defeat, or have the leader determine his/her own departure. It is a party that is not comfortable in the opposition benches. The knives are certain to come out sooner or later when the majority of Liberals realize they are certain to lose the next election to a career politician when they could bring in an alternative leader from the many choices they have among themselves.

As reported by Jen Hodgson (Trudeau says ‘older folks’ have ‘too much house’ to shift blame for housing crisis/ Western Standard, 11 Jul 2024), Trudeau has listened to advocates who want to force older Canadians out of their homes. The ideas to accomplish this are creating a surtax on homes and making seniors depending on government handouts. If you read Hodgson’s report, you will find some of the most muddled-headed thinking that flies in the face of facts and even contravenes other government policies. But all is fair when the PM declares “fairness."
