Chrystia Freeland's resignation from cabinet on Monday has encouraged some Liberal MPs to double down on their efforts to push Prime Minister Justin Trudeau out of the top job.
Trudeau faced frustrated MPs at a hastily arranged caucus meeting on Monday night. One MP who was in the room told CBC News that most of the 15 MPs who spoke at the meeting said Trudeau has to step down after mismanaging his once-crucial relationship with Freeland.
A number of other MPs have now publicly called on the prime minister to step aside and let someone else lead the Liberals into the next election.
