It's time to expunge the Liberals and the Trudeaus from Canada's story:
Innovation Minister François-Philippe Champagne insisted that “the page is turned,” while Ottawa MP Mona Fortier said she was “very happy” and the caucus went “very well.”
Government House leader Karina Gould insisted the caucus is united with a solitary goal.
“What I can say is that our caucus is extremely united. We have one goal and that is to ensure that Pierre Poilievre does not become prime minister,” she said.
What was not discussed in caucus, according to several MPs, was the secret ballot on Trudeau’s leadership, with at least one of them saying it was not even brought up.
The mechanism to hold a leadership vote does not exist under current rules for either the caucus or the party.
Toronto MP Yvan Baker, who is among a growing number of MPs who have been calling for a secret ballot, said Wednesday “the ball is in the prime minister’s court” on this matter.
“I think now it’s up to the prime minister to decide. I think that would be the best way to move forward and I think the question should be asked of the prime minister if he supports a secret ballot and if not, why not?”
Because he wants to know who is stabbing him in the back.
