Quebec Liberal MP Alexandra Mendes said Monday she’s heard from “dozens” of constituents over the summer telling her it’s time for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to step aside after nearly nine years at the top.
‘I heard it from dozens and dozens of people — he’s no longer the right leader,’ Alexandra Mendes says.
Speaking to Radio-Canada, CBC’s French-language service, on the sidelines of the Liberal caucus retreat in Nanaimo, B.C., Mendes said her constituents are “very adamant the prime minister needs to go.”
She said while she’s personally fine with Trudeau staying on as prime minister, “my constituents do not see Mr. Trudeau as the person who should lead the party into the next election, and that’s the message that I carry.”
“I didn’t hear it from two, three people. I heard it from dozens and dozens of people,” Mendes said. “He’s no longer the right leader.”
