Well, they are backbencher for a reason. It isn’t now, when the government can be throw down at every moment, that it was the time to do that. It was last spring when it was evident that Trudeau’s last ditch effort didn’t bring back voters and that the NDP was still backing the Liberals, that it was time to shake the building.

Sean Casey isn’t running in the next election, so this isn’t particularly surprising or groundbreaking.
He has also, in past elections, used signs without the Liberal logo, so it makes sense that he’d be one to publicly call for Trudeau’s resignation.

> “I have an obligation to the people of Charlottetown to keep Pierre Poilievre out of the prime minister’s chair in any way shape or form,” he said.
Justin Trudeau could say the same thing. In fact, he had made similar statements multiple times.
Furthermore, it is quite obvious that Trudeau is the only person in this country who is capable of defeating Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives in the upcoming election. There is no better reason to stay as prime minister and as leader of the Liberal party.

Voting for PP because you’re fed up with Trudeau is like to saying if you’ve got a cold take a shot of covid! If you’re really pissed off vote for anything other than Red/Blue. Green is a nice colour.

There’s no realistic way Liberals are gonna win at this point, but if they can hold on to their strongholds and gain a little bit of support back from the CPC, they can still come out of the next election with a respectable 80-100 seats and comfortably form Official Opposition. The worst case scenario, though, if they keep Trudeau and keep pretending like the polls aren’t real, is getting an even worse result than 2011 and potentially even being relegated to third or fourth-party status.
