Catherine McKenna, who served as a prominent Liberal cabinet minister under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau from 2015 to 2021, says it's time for the Liberal Party to seek a "new leader."Former environment minister Catherine McKenna says it's time for the Liberal Party of Canada to choose a new leader.
McKenna is the first person who served in Trudeau's cabinet to call for a change in leadership since the Liberals' surprising loss this week in the Toronto-St. Paul's byelection.Trudeau says he isn't quitting — do the Liberals have any good options to turn things around?The Liberal Party had held the riding since 1993 and won it by nearly 13,000 votes just three years ago in the general election. Conservative candidate Don Stewart won a narrow victory there on Monday.
