OTTAWA: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's insistence that there is little wrong with how he is handling the worst crisis of his tenure is frustrating lawmakers and senior party figures who believe the approach could cost him re-election this October.
"The frustration is certainly more palpable than it was a couple of weeks ago ... it's not the happiest of places to spend much time," said one of the people, who like others cited in this story requested anonymity given the sensitivity of the situation.Despite a sea of unfavourable headlines as well as opinion polls showing the Liberals are on track to lose October's federal election, Trudeau's approach has been to wait it out.
In a sign of their anger, they look set to defy his wishes and expel at least Wilson-Raybould from caucus at its next scheduled meeting on Wednesday. Trudeau, 47, came to power in 2015 with a small cadre of longtime intimates serving as a brain trust, including Gerald Butts, his close friend and top political adviser. Butts resigned in February amid the scandal.
"He doesn't throw chairs against the wall or bang on tables. That's not his style," said the third Liberal."But he can be very stubborn. Once he's decided on something, that's it."
