Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced he will not resign following the Liberal Party's unexpected loss in the Toronto-St. Paul's byelection, a seat they had held for over 31 years. The defeat, described as a 'wake-up call' by Liberal officials, has led to internal calls for reflection and regrouping. Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland and other senior Liberal figures, including Immigration Minister Marc Miller, Families Minister Jenna Sudds, and Karina Gould, expressed their continued support for Trudeau's leadership. Despite the loss, Trudeau remains committed to leading the Liberals into the next election. The byelection result has sparked discussions about the party's future and Trudeau's leadership, with some insiders suggesting the need for new leadership. The Conservative Party's victory in this traditionally Liberal stronghold is seen as a significant blow to Trudeau's authority and a potential indicator of broader voter dissatisfaction. Former top Freeland aide Leslie Church, who led the party to defeat, has announced she will run again in the next election. The result also highlights voter support for Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre.
