Some Liberal MPs are mounting a new effort to oust Justin Trudeau (www.cbc.ca)

Pressure is building on the prime minister and his office as a growing number of anxious Liberal MPs are co-ordinating efforts to force Justin Trudeau to step down as Liberal Party leader, multiple sources have told CBC News.

Disgruntled Liberal MPs held a series of meetings to discuss a path forward for the party since the surprising Toronto-St. Paul's byelection loss in June.

Those talks accelerated with Parliament's return and the Montreal byelection loss. They escalated further this week with the prime minister and his chief of staff, Katie Telford, out of the country for a summit in Asia.

Some MPs are being asked to sign their names to what amounts to a pledge to stand together in calling for Trudeau to resign, multiple sources said.

Looks like the Liberals are following the US Democrats' playbook.

TBF Trudeau is a shit stain on Canada, not to say Harper and prior peers weren't

Also fuck Doug Ford

Adding Blaine Higgs (NB), Scott Moe (Saskabush) and Danielle Smith (Hellberta) to that list as well.

Can they switch like that? Regardless of if JT finishes his term or not, I think the ship has sailed for the Liberals. They are widely disliked, even by their base.

Who do you pick to replace him? Conservatives froth at the mouth just as hard for Freeland. In the case of Harris, she's had years to build her name in the media. I can't even think of who would possibly be next in line that would have that kind of brand power.

My guess (if Trudeau is ousted) is Mark Carney.

Canadians know him well and respect him a lot. He could be the only choice at this point.
