and secondly, the liberal party will undertake a leadership race. i'm not one to lead the party in the next election, polarization in parliament should die down a bit. they need a well functioning parliament especially in this complex world of ours. the two things i just mentioned will allow us to reset parliament. [speaking french. >> parliamentary press gallery and watching, parliament has been seized by obstruction and filibustering and a total lack of productivity over the past few months. we are the longest serving minority government in history and time for a reset. and time for the temperature to come down for the people have a fresh start in parliament to be able to navigate through these complex times domestically and internationally and the reset we have is actually two parts. one is the recognizing that we are moving me from the equation as the leader who will fight the next election for the liberal party and should decrease the level of polarization that we are seeing in the house and canadian politics and allow people to focus on servin

liberal party of canada is an important institution in the history of our country. the new prime minister and leader of the party will carry values and ideals into that next election. i am excited to see the process unfold in the months ahead. we were elected for the third time in 2021 to strengthen the economy post-pandemic and advance canada's interests in a complicated world, and that is exactly the job that i and we will continue to do for canadians. >> thank you, prime minister. we will now go to questions. >> hello, mr. trudeau. you wanted to go up against [indiscernible] but there has been infighting in your party. why did you make this decision today? why did you change your mind? prime minister trudeau: i don't step back from a fight, especially an important fight for our party and country, in fact. but i do this job because the interests on the welfare of our country and democracy are important to me. it has become very, very clear that i cannot be the leader to take the party into the next election because of internal divisions. as you all know, i am a fig

i intend to resign as leader of the liberal party of canada and prime minister of canada once the party will have chosen its next leader after a national competitive and robust process. yesterday evening, i asked the president of the liberal party to take the necessary steps. the country deserves a clear choice in the next election. and it has become obvious for me that i focus on internal fights. i can't be the best option for that election. the liberal party of canada is an important institution in the history of our great country and of our democracy as 2ell. a new prime minister and leader of the liberal party will carry the values and the ideas of the liberal party into the next election. i am looking forward to that process in the coming months. we were elected for the third time in 2021 to strengthen the economy after the pandemic and to move the interests of canada forward in a complex world. and this is what i will continue to do and what we will all continue to do for canadians. liberal party of canada is an important institution in the history of our country. the new prime mi

the new prime minister and leader of the liberal party will carry the values and the ideas of the liberal party into the next election. i am looking forward to watching that process over the coming months. we were elected for the third time in 2021 to strengthen the economy after the pandemic and to move the interests of candida -- canada forward in a complex world and this is what i will continue to do and what we will all continue to do for canadians. >> the liberal party of canada is an important institution in the history of our great country and democracy. a new prime minister and leader of the liberal party will carry its values and ideals into that next election. i am excited to see the process unfold in the months ahead. we were elected for the third time in 2021 to strengthen the economy post-pandemic and advance canada's interest in a complicated world and that is exactly the job that i and we will continue to do for canadians. >> thank you prime minister, we will now go to questions. >> hello mr. trudeau, you wanted to go up against -- there has been infighting in your party fo

or there's been a lot of pressure on him from various parts of the liberal party, the ruling liberal party too, for him to move aside and to step down. and allow for a new generation of leadership to take over. i think one of the things that he's thinking of is his reputation, which he feels as being undermined at this point. but at the same time, the opposition parties, especially the conservatives, have shown that we're an election to be held today. the liberal party would be wiped out virtually wiped out. they would, may have, in a parliament of a few 100 seats. the liberals may be left with 6 seats, and one poll has shown that the prime minister trudel would in fact lose his own constituency, his own writing if the vote were held today. so you know the, the, the goal. so he, personals past, had been knocking on his door for several months now, and he's been in power for a long time. and the people seem to be ready for a change, or he came to power in a blaze of glory, gentle hand and stuff. and if i have progressive agenda that suited many people at the time. so why is it become s

secondly the liberal party and if i am not the one to lead the party, polarization and parliament shouldie down a bit. canadians need a well functioning far parliament especially this very complex world of ours. these two things i just mentioned if i was to reset parliament. why not an election then? you did not tell us that. >> parliamentary press gallery, anyone has been watching politics closely over the last nine months will know parliament has been entirely seized by obstruction, and filibustering and a total lack of productivity. over the past few months right we are right now the longest-serving minority government in g history and it s time for a reset. it's time for the temperature to come down. for people to have a fresh start in on the reset we have is two parts. the other part is recognizing removing me from the equation as a leader who will fight the next election for the liberal party should also decrease the polarization we are seeing right now in the house and canadian politics. allow people to actually focus on serving canadians in this house with their work. >> good mor

there is no doubting just how big a crisis this is for mr trudeau's liberal party.ars in power, there is a sense of tiredness, of directionless and it is facing opinion polls that are some of the worst in its history. a short while ago i was outside the prime minister's office, a little way up the road from parliament here. there was a small crowd of protesters cheering and dancing to the song, nah, nah, hey, hey, goodbye. you know, that is to be expected of course but i think there is a sense in the wider country of something of something inevitable about this and whatever kind of political crisis this is, it also leaves canada with something of a strategic crisis. at the helm, a lame—duck prime minister, parliament prorouged, no sitting legislature just as donald trump tax office, promising a major trade war. one way or another, canada has to hold an election by october. at the heart of all this, some observers suggest, some of the same forces shaping politics elsewhere in the world — rising populism, a cost—of—living crisis, rising concerns about levels of immigr

his announcement this morning comes after months of pressure from within his own liberal party. >> i to resign as party leader, as prime minister. after the party selects its next leader through a robust nationwide competitive process. last night, i asked the president of the liberal party to begin that process. this country deserves a real choice in the next election. it has become clear to me that if i am having to fight internal battles, i cannot be the best option in that election. >> this is a huge shift. he was party leader for 11 years. elected three times, martha. the political writing was on the welfare the conservative party took at 20-point lead over the liberal party in the upcoming election. >> what is fascinating about this is looking proudly you can say at the end of the obama era. here at home and also in international politics. the rebirth again of the trump era and the pressure we are seeing in other countries for more conservative movement. 27 countries in the e.u. that have moved to the right. here at home, 90% of counties move to the right. when you think about j

canada's liberal party is set to start the process of finding a new leader, and the country's new primeis resignation. he's held the position for nine years, but growing pressure from his party and unpopularity with voters saw him step down, ahead of general elections expected in october. trudeau will stay in office until a new leader is selected, with the liberal party's board of directors due to meet this week. for more, let's speak to our north america correspondent david willis. i would imagine so much reaction to his decision to resign. reaction to his decision to resin. . ~ , reaction to his decision to resin. ., ~ , ., ., resign. talk us through some of it. this resign. talk us through some of it- this was _ resign. talk us through some of it. this was a _ resign. talk us through some of it. this was a man _ resign. talk us through some of it. this was a man who - resign. talk us through some of it. this was a man who rose i resign. talk us through some of it. this was a man who rose to i it. this was a man who rose to popularity back in 2015, this young progressive politician fe

[cheers and applause] >> jon: just now. the concern of it is -- and this will blow your mind. so the conservatives are run by pierre poilievre. did i say that correctly? >> yes. >> jon: it's a fictional j.k. rowling name at best. pierre poilievre. this always fascinates me. i want to show this. this is -- so trudeau obviously. the other guy is pierre poilievre. it looks like -- and he is trudeau's arrival. yes? they look like two fictional boy school rivals, or like, polievre seems like a villain in, like, "karate kid" movie. there is something very, very off-putting. what is he like in person? >> eh. >> jon: take your time. >> you are not far off. [cheers and applause] he is -- i will say this. there is a type of politician, you have a fear of them her

true, i said the internal party struggles had made it clear that they couldn't leave the liberals into the coming election. he said he would stay on his prime minister until the party chose his replaced. even the elements went on just intrude those side as he came out to him. now his resignation i intend to resign as party leader as prime minister after the party selects it's next leader to a robust nationwide competitive process. this country deserves a real choice in the next election. and it is become clear to me that if i'm having to fight internal baffles, i cannot be the best option. in that election scheme of those internal bustles suddenly became fall to public for to day last month. when he tried to remote his then finance minister and long time allied, christie, a freeland, she resigned instead accusing the prime minister, pursuing political gimmicks browser. and it kind of does best interest a criticism, a 100 more. i mean, nation to treat those opponents in his own policy. so it'd been pointing to months of polls showing the liberals on calls for a crushing defeat in upcomi

now we are going to see a very intense battle for the leadership of the liberal party. n trudeau about who could go on to replacejustin trudeau as leader of the party, but aside from that, liberals are down and pulling against the rival conservatives party. elections need to be held on or before october 20. we could see a no—confidence vote in parliament was to get back —— once he gets back in march. a lot of canada will be facing as canadians face a housing crisis, rising costs, and even more economic trouble with the united states.— united states. thank you very much for _ united states. thank you very much for that, _ united states. thank you very much for that, nada - united states. thank you very much for that, nada tawfik. l heavy snow and flooding are causing widespread disruption for many parts of the uk. more than 170 flood warnings are in place across england and wales. a majorflooding incident has been declared across rutland and leicestershire — 17 people rescued so far. the fire and rescue service says it's received more than 200 calls since the morning. the

trudeau's liberal party after nine years in power.a sense of tiredness, and it is facing opinion polls that are some of the worst in its history. a short while ago, i was just outside the prime minister's office a little way up the road from parliament here. there was a small crowd of protesters cheering and dancing to the song "nah nah, hey hey, goodbye." that is to be expected, of course. there is a sense of something of the inevitable about this. whatever a political crisis this is, it also leaves canada with something of a strategic crisis. at the helm, a lame-duck prime minister. no sitting legislature just as donald trump takes office, promising a major trade war. anchor: where do things go from here then? correspondent: as you have been explaining, one way or another, canada has to hold an election by october. at the heart of all this, some observers suggest some of the same forces shaping politics elsewhere in the world, rising populism, cost-of-living crisis, rising concern about levels of immigration, all of those things are

justin to go says he'll step aside as lead to the ruling liberal party, but we'll stay in office until a success it will say coming off a powerful window. stone blankets, much of the eastern united states crippling travel, knocking out power to hundreds of 1000. the anthony out welcome kind of is justin true, has announced he will resign as prime minister and as head of the liberal party for those said that internal potty struggles had made it clear that he couldn't lead the liberals into the coming election. they said he would stay on his prime minister until the party chose his replacement. even the elements went on just intruders side as he came out to him. now his resignation. i intend to resign as party leader as prime minister after the party selects it's next leader to a robust nationwide competitive process. this country deserves a real choice in the next election. and it is become clear to me that if i'm having to fight internal baffles, it cannot be the best option in that election. so just keep those internal bustles suddenly became fall to public for trudeau. last month, wh

he would, the liberal party would be absolutely designated. so the parties was looking at their own survival at this point. so ultimately what we're seeing here from to though is an attempt for the party to still be able to clean power without basically having an election or a silver platter to the are conservative opposition. so what to go has done with this move is he is pro road parliament until march 24th. what that means is that that gives about 3 months worth of time for to go and the liberals to hold a leadership review and select a new leader of whoever that might be. there are few names that have been battered around, for example, 50 carpet farmer, premier british columbia, who has, who in one point was married to a federal liberal strategist. there is also a mark carney, who's a former head of the bank of canada and also the bank of england kind of an interesting job here she had, there was a consecutive job. sir, you can say he um is uh you could say a global is through and through. he actually called publicly during the freedom comm

for a new leader to lead the liberal party and counted as upcoming federal elections. now when he spoke to the nation earlier, a turbo referenced those internal battles, it was also in that sounds like that you just played. and so that's what he meant. one of the key concerns about has emberts, is that he might not be the right person to be in charge of canada out of time. or donald trump is poised to take over the white house in the united states. we know that trump has promised to impose a 25 percent import tariffs on canadian, in ports coming in to the west. that could be very damaging for canada is economy. and it is not helped by the fact that trump enter don't, don't have the best relationship. trump very often belittles for dell calling of the governor of canada and saying that capital should really be other united states, 51st dates. so essentially what we are seeing and this resignation is for dough saying that you might not be the right person to lead candidate at this time. not only is the unpopular, but he finds himself in a poor position to be able to deal

the liberal party executive has to sit down and figure out the rules.should expect we are looking at a two month process here. somewhere in that timeframe. scarlet: ok, pretty truncated. the canadian dollar is stronger today versus the u.s. dollar probably with relief that this has happened. who are you looking at to be in the running? i'm thinking about the long time deputy finance minister, whose resignation spark this latest crisis for justin trudeau. >> i spent a lot of time over the last year talking to people around him and putting questions to him and i believe he did not intend to resign until the freeland incident happened three weeks ago. chris you -- freeland took out the prime minister and she is sitting in the wings and i think it's very likely she will make a run for the leadership race. i have not been told that specifically by anybody around her, but she's absolutely someone to watch. another person to watch is mark carney, so when he was trying to bring into his government. viewers probably know him as the central bank governors of engl

justin trudeau is stepping down, resigning as the liberal party in canada. at the helm of 11 years. is this the case of trudeau jumping before he was pushed? >> absolutely. he said look, i can't possibly fight what will be an incredibly difficult election campaign for a government that's almost a decade old if i have to continually fight these internal battles. now, look, there have been a long list of scandals as well as some achievements that he outlined there. but again, so many members of his own government coming to him and saying, we don't believe that you can beat conservative leader, conservative party leader in the next election, an election that has to be held by the end of the year. and pam, as i've been saying all morning, stop me when this sounds familiar, this really leaves his party in a tough squeeze. the polls already indicate that they are more than 20 percentage points behind, and now they're going to have this succession battle and it will be rough with a lots of different people putting their hat in the ring. in the meantime, you have ÷÷

as kind of as justin to go has announced people resign as prime minister under the head of the liberal party to, to set that policy in fighting have made it clear that he couldn't lead the liberals into the upcoming election. he said he would stay on us prime minister until the potty decided on his replacement. even the elements went on just intruders side as he came out to a know his resignation. i intend to resign as party leader as prime minister after the party selects it's next leader to a robust nationwide competitive process. this country deserves a real choice in the next election. and it is become clear to me that if i'm having to fight internal baffles, i cannot be the best option in that election. so just keep those internal bustles suddenly became fall to public for through the last month when he tried to remote his then finance minister, a long time ally christy, a freeland, she resigned, instead of accusing the prime minister, pursuing political gimmicks browser and kind of his best interest, a criticism, a 100 more, i mean, nation to treat those opponents in his own policy. wh

a new prime minister and leader of the liberal party will carry its values and ideals into that next election. the government will still, and the cabinet will still be very much focused on doing the job that canadians elected us to do in 2021. trudeau says the canadian parliament will be on hold until march 24th, when parliament can conduct a confidence vote. u.s. steel and a japanese firm which set out to buy it are suing the biden administration. this comes days after president biden blocked the proposed $14 billion merger in the lawsuit. u.s. steel and japan's nippon steel say mr. biden's decision ignored the rule of law, and that it was done to win over united steelworkers for political gain. that's the union representing a majority of steelworkers in the u.s. but mr. biden says the deal posed a threat to national security and put jobs at risk. and he stressed the importance of keeping the steel industry in american hands. well, millions of people across the country are under a winter weather alert, and it's causing some problems for travelers. let's take a live look at sfo right

not only for 3 robots is liberal party. so was that also a feeling within his positive, adjusting to, to was the person to defend kind of his interest against the incoming us president donald trump? yeah, i think that was less of a concern because you'll remember he was the prime minister when trump was elected in 2016. and so by all measures that his government and was especially christian freeland, leaving that as deputy prime minister at the time, they found a way to, to have a combination of springs in charm. when dealing with donald trump. so that really wasn't his achilles heel at, at, at this point, although donald trump has been full in canada significantly. and justin prudel calling us to 51st dates so, so there needed to really be a strategy on dealing with trump. but it wasn't his achilles heel, i'd say, right? focus through the the, the, the runners and right is and who's likely to replace mister trudy. well, christopher freeland, we've talked about her now, his former deputy prime minister and, and finance mini

a blow from which trudeau could not recover and freeland because of her long-standing in the liberal parties, is going to be a player if she chooses to run but there are others too. there's melanie julie, the replacement finance minister who stepped in and is a long time liberal and friend of justin trudeau and a dark first candidate is the former premier of british columbia, less well-known but somebody with a reputation within the country. >> so those are some of the key contenders and their backgrounds. what are you and the team watching for in the days and weeks ahead and to what extent will some of these candidates consider this a poisoned chalice given the lead versus the conservatives? >> there was polling taken in december that shows the conservative party something like 25 points ahead of the liberals. that is a mountain to climb for anybody and there's not a lot of time to put your own stamp on this government. it is highly likely we will have an election by may so a new liberal leader will have only weeks to establish what they want to do before being thrown into an election campa

it�*s hard to say well, it�*s a new leader and it�*s a new liberal party.ime to turn things around. because justin trudeau is resigning perhaps only months before the next federal elections, depending on what will happen in parliament after mps return to work on march 24. what impact does the incoming trump administration and donald trumps messaging on possible tariffs on canadian goods, what impact is that had on all of this? it�*s really a major issue in canada, people are talking a lot, it�*s a major threat if these tariffs were imposed it would be catastrophic for economy. i think there is a sense that the vulnerability ofjustin trudeau, as he is now a lame—duck is not putting him in a very good position facing donald trump who is returning to the white house. and who has made quite a few jokes aboutjustin trudeau on social media saying canada should become the 51st state and calling him governor trudeau and so forth. i think this is certainly a major source of concern here in canada to have parliament until the 24th, prime minister who is a lame—duck,

for the post of the liberal party leader and indeed a prime minister of this year. oh, i think that is that is a significant concern for any politician in canada right now. that's possible. a future prime ministers as well as premier's because of that possible 25 percent tariff this this has become a real concern. so we will be who will have the, the strongest strategy on dealing with president trump going forward. so we'll be watching that closely. it will be a significant issue. and what does this tell us? we who um, who are outside canada, who sort of look at business and see justin true though about kelly, i'm teenager who's done so well for himself. we get this idea of it. canadian politics is plastic, but this seems not to be the case. oh no, we're. we are a very dynamic. politically. i would say, i think at least we are right now, but you've caught canada at the 10 year mark. this is the time when canadians typically get fatigue with their governments when, when people have been in, in, in leadership for 10 years, it is often time for a change. and then there

he was the liberal party with the absolutely designated. so why don't you don't has gotten the 1st move, this is per roll parliament until march 24th. what that means is that, that gives about 3 months worth of time for to go and the liberals to hold a leadership review and select a new leader or whoever that might be a one thing that i think played a role in all of this is the fact that donald trump is coming into office in just a few days and the deputy prime minister under justin to go for is jeffrey lens resigned just before christmas. basically saying that you don't like. we have different priorities with respect to how to handle this new incoming in an administration on the us side. and we just don't agree on anything. when he got up to speed in front of reporters, he, the 1st things he said, or things like, well, you know, i'm really proud of the priorities that i took care of while in office. things like ukraine, which canadians at this point, you know, they have better things to think about climate change. again, that doesn't reall

the canadian simply headed offers a liberal party. and as a leadership, the canadian prime minister says the writing on the wall is so clear, he will be gone no soon as a new lead to discharge i intend to resign as party leader as prime minister after the party selects it's next leader to a robust nationwide competitive process. last night i asked the president of the liberal party to begin that process. this country deserves a real choice in the next selection. and it is become clear to me that if i'm having to fight internal baffles, it cannot be the best option in that election. it was expected that several. and he's we're going to ask him to step down anyway. so to do is basically getting out ahead of this before he's shot or sent for a walk, the plank by his own party. you can say, because ultimately he is way down in the polls. he's about 20 points back from the conservative opponent plug of law and it's an election was to be held today. he was the liberal party would be absolutely designated. so what to do has done with this mo

well, there can be no i doubting just how big a crisis this is for his liberal party.d the parties looking down the barrel of some of the worst opinion polls in its history. but this is a crisis for canada as well, a nation left with a lame duck prime minister at the helm and with parliament prorogued, no sitting legislature, just as donald trump takes office in the us in the south, promising, as you heard, a major trade war. some observers see the same forces shaping politics here as elsewhere, rising populism, a cost of living crisis, as you heard from sarah, and growing anti—immigration sentiment. whatever happens, an election needs to be held by october. some within his own party will criticise mr trudeau for taking so long to have seen the writing on the wall, leaving them very little time to get their house in order before that election. a stage now certainly set for a return to powerfor the canadian conservatives under a man some people see as a kind of mini trump and a person promising a very different political future.— different political future. thank ou ve

it is likely that the liberal party will be wiped off the map in the next election and have a majority be more geologically adjourned with trump. i think he's putting tariffs more to shore up his base in the us to really asked to have had changes in canada but in 2026 we will have a review of the free—trade agreement that exists between canada, the us and mexico and trump does not like free trade with canada or anybody else. if it is a right wing party, hopefully they can find some ideological sympathy with each other but it would be a tough slog for anybody to try to have trump back away from tariffs and support free trade which has been one of the few bright spots the canada over the years. spots the canada over the ears. ~ spots the canada over the ears, ~ ., , , . ., spots the canada over the ears. ~ years. we appreciate your time, thank you _ years. we appreciate your time, thank you for— years. we appreciate your time, thank you for talking _ years. we appreciate your time, thank you for talking to - years. we appreciate your time, thank you for talking to us. - the us dollar fel

last night, i asked the president of the liberal party to begin that process.his country deserves a real choice in the next election and it has become clear to me that if i am having to fight internal battles, i cannot be the best option in that election. [speaking french] caroline: justin trudeau, the prime minister of canada, now handing in his resignation as the leader of his party. there is an official suspension of parliament in canada until march 24. we will turn to all of the news when it comes to politics in canada. canada will prorogue parliament until march 24. parliament will be suspended as he announces his resignation after nine years in power. he says he will stay as prime minister until a new liberal leader is chosen. his resignation announcement is not. the only. one. we returned to michael mckee because michael barr has stepped down as vice chair of supervision but is not resigning from the federal reserve. just the vice chair position. michael: it has been thought she will not be replaced. the incoming president will not have the opportunity t

he will remain on the job while the ruling liberal party finds someone to take over as leader. here's what trudeau himself said. >> canadians deserve a real choice in the next election. and it has become obvious to me, with the internal battles that i cannot be the one to carry the liberal standard into the next election. >> for the latest, let's turn to claudio lavanga. why is trudeau resigning? >> reporter: good morning, frances. the reputation and popularity of justin trudeau has recently plummeted after he was blamed for the country's high inflation and the recent political chaos by canadians, including members of his own liberal party who have been calling for him to resign for a while now. so that announcement hasn't come as much of a surprise, and perhaps what really pressured justin trudeau to step down was a decision by his own deputy prime minister and who was also acting as finance minister last month to resign over his handling or mishandling of the aftermath of donald trump's victory. now donald trump did say that after he won that he will impose a 25% tariff on go

he will remain in the job while the ruling liberal party finds someone to take over. here's what trudeau himself said. >> canadians deserve a real choice in the next election. and it has become obvious to me, with the internal battles that i can not be the one to carry the liberal standard into the next election. >> for the latest, let's go to claudio lavanga. why is trudeau resigning? >> reporter: good morning, frances. well, trudeau's popularity has recently plummeted, recently plummeted after he was blamed for the country's high inflation and also for the political chaos. both among canadians and members of his own liberal party who have been calling for him to resign for a while now. so this amentnnouncement hasn'te as a surprise. his deputy prime minister who acted as finance minister, cynthia freeland stepped down in a position to his handling or mishandling, let's say, of donald trump's victory and the followup of that. now donald trump famously said that after he comes in office he will impose a 25% tariff on goods imported from canada as well as other countri

as next. prime minister justin true though it says he will step aside as leader of the ruling liberal party, but will stay in office until a successor is chosen. thoughts all steps present oscar, the leader of the far right free the pontiff. to form a new coalition government off, the thoughts between all the parties collect the powerful winter storm blankets, much of the east in the united states prep thing travel and looking all proud to hundreds of 1000 the i'm gonna have both as welcome to the program as strongly as quite cuz kills at least 53 people into pets. many, all those are trapped. there's thousands of off the sharks shop the region in the west of china and across the border in the paul. according to china's official, shouldn't what news agencies 62 people have been injured, and rescue workers are searching for people in the rubble. the quakes, epi, sense it was about 75 kilometers north east of mount everest, which strive of the china. they pull border close to the tibetan buddhist. holy city of she got it. travis well felt as far away as cop mondo and india. the us geological

that means he continues business as usual until a new liberal party leader can be chosen. kate, here's where things get interesting. parliament is not sitting right now. the opposition parties may have something to say about that in terms of how long this liberal party leadership race could go on. it adds to really some chaos and confusion here in canada, to begin 2025. i mean, look, kate, this is a leader who's been in office for more than nine years. he started off in something called sunny ways, right? he wanted government to be different. he definitely outlined a progressive agenda, but the polls have really plummeted for him and his party in recent months. he's behind at least 20 points of the nearest party, which is conservative leader pier pauliev. on a very sunny morning here in ottawa, he is left with a person who has been told by his own legislators, his own members of the liberal party that he must go, that they do not believe that they can win the next election with him. kate, a lot of the same issues in the united states that have gone on here in canada, in ter
