Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has decided to skip the Calgary Stampede this year, marking his first absence from the event outside of the COVID-19 years. The decision comes in the wake of dismal polling numbers and a humiliating loss for the Liberals in the Toronto-St. Paul's byelection. Additionally, some Liberal MPs, including local Calgary MP George Chahal, have called for Trudeau's resignation, raising questions about his leadership. Trudeau's absence also means he will miss his annual appearance and photo op at the Stampede.
