The chorus of calls for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to step down as Liberal leader includes former B.C. premier Christy Clark.
“I think it's time for the prime minister to step down," said Clark Thursday. "What I'm hearing from Liberals across the country is, 'We want our party back.'"
Clark’s comments came a few days after a stunning byelection defeat in the Toronto-St. Paul's riding, a Liberal stronghold.
“The leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada isn't delivering the kind of Canada that people want – that even Liberals want – in the heart of Liberal country,” Clark said.
Former Liberal environment minister Catherine McKenna shared a similar sentiment in a statement Thursday, noting: “The prime minister has a legacy to be proud of but it's time for new ideas, new energy and a new leader.”
Surrey Centre Liberal MP Randeep Sarai bristled at her statement.
“There’s lots of Monday morning quarterbacks – people who have been in cabinet and like being relevant and making comment,” he said Friday.
