Liberal backbencher calls for Trudeau to resign in email to caucus

Saint John-Rothesay MP Wayne Long says new leadership needed 'for the good of our country'

Liberal backbencher Wayne Long has sent an email to caucus calling for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to resign as leader after the party lost a Toronto-area riding that's been solidly Liberal for decades earlier this week.

The New Brunswick MP is the first Liberal caucus member to openly call for Trudeau's resignation since Tuesday's byelection upset in Toronto-St. Paul's.

"For the future of our party and for the good of our country, we need new leadership and a new direction," Long wrote in an email obtained by CBC News.

"The voters have spoken loud and clear they want change. I agree."

The Saint John-Rothesay MP, who has spoken out against his government in the past, is not re-offering in the next election.

Then Poilievre should resign for Cons losing the ENTIRE province of Manitoba:

(And Yes-Provincial & Federal Cons have EVERYTHING to do with each other:

This is a pointless statement by that MP. Three- time proven winner Prime Minister Trudeau already stated he is not resigning.
