Alexandra Mendès becomes first Liberal MP to publicly call on Trudeau to resign

The House of Commons assistant deputy speaker said he has heard from multiple constituents that the current prime minister is no longer the right man for the job.

A Liberal MP who serves as the assistant deputy speaker of the House of Commons has become the first in the party to publicly call for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to resign, saying directly that he is not the “right leader” for the party.

The call for Trudeau to step down came from Liberal MP Alexandra Mendès, who is from Quebec’s Brossard-St. Lambert riding. In an interview with Radio Canada on Monday, Mendès said directly, “My constituents do not see Mr. Trudeau as the person who should carry the Party into the next election and that’s the message that I carry.”

“I didn’t hear from two, three people. I heard it from dozens and dozens of people. He is no longer the right leader,” she said.

Mendès said that as she listens to her constituents, which is what “supposedly what we’re meant to do,” then “yes, I have to say we would have to change leadership.”

The Trudeau resignation call comes amid dismal polling numbers for Trudeau as well as losing support from the socialist New Democratic Party (NDP) to keep him in power. NDP leader Jagmeet Singh pulled his official support for Trudeau’s Liberals last week.

Late last month, Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre called on Singh to pull his support for Trudeau’s Liberals in order for an election to be held.

Recent polls show that the Conservatives under Poilievre would win a majority government in a landslide were an election held today. Singh’s NDP and Trudeau’s Liberals would lose a massive number of seats.

As for Trudeau, his woes continue to mount. LifeSiteNews recently reported how the national elections campaign director for Canada’s federal Liberal Party announced he was stepping down because, according to sources close to the party, he does not think Trudeau can with a fourth consecutive election.

Trump fires chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff, appoints new military leader

President Donald Trump announced Friday the dismissal of General Charles Brown, the current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump expressed his gratitude toward Brown for his extensive contributions and leadership, wishing him and his family a prosperous future. Brown’s departure marks a pivotal moment in U.S. military leadership following over 40 years of service.

“I want to thank General Charles “CQ” Brown for his over 40 years of service to our country, including as our current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He is a fine gentleman and an outstanding leader, and I wish a great future for him and his family,” Trump wrote.

Simultaneously, Trump introduced his nominee for Brown’s successor.

“Today, I am honored to announce that I am nominating Air Force Lieutenant General Dan “Razin” Caine to be the next Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. General Caine is an accomplished pilot, national security expert, successful entrepreneur, and a “warfighter” with significant interagency and special operations experience,” Trump said.

Trump said Caine’s appointment comes after he was overlooked for advancement during former President Joe Biden’s presidency.

“General Caine was passed over for promotion by Sleepy Joe Biden. But not anymore! Alongside Secretary Pete Hegseth, General Caine and our military will restore peace through strength, put America First, and rebuild our military,” Trump said. President Trump also announced plans to appoint five additional senior military officials, tasks he has delegated to Secretary Hegseth.

It was reported Thursday that Hegseth plans to dismiss Brown as part of President Trump’s commitment to eliminate “wokeness” from the military. Brown reportedly appears on a list of proposed removals submitted to Congress.

Brown had previously expressed his wish to retain his position even after Trump took office, and according to sources speaking to NBC News in Dec. 2024, Trump seemingly moderated his views on the general. Biden nominated Brown as chairman in 2023, and despite a heated confirmation hearing where senators scrutinized his alleged implementation of racial quotas in Air Force hiring practices, he was confirmed.

Meanwhile, Brown’s replacement, Caine, took office as the associate director for Military Affairs at the CIA on Nov. 3, 2021, after serving as the director of Special Programs at the Pentagon. Lt. Gen. Dan Caine, an F-16 pilot with extensive experience including over 150 combat hours, was commissioned in 1990 and has held numerous key roles, from the White House staff to special operations, and balances his military career with entrepreneurial ventures.
