Prime Minister Justin Trudeau may be bracing for an earful from his caucus when Liberal MPs gather in Nanaimo, B.C. today to plot their strategy for the coming election year.

It will be the first time he faces them as a group since MPs departed Ottawa in the spring.

Still stinging from a devastating byelection loss earlier this summer, the caucus is now also reeling from news that their national campaign director has resigned and the party can no longer count on the NDP to stave off an early election.

"They should be giving the prime minister a rough ride," said strategist Ginny Roth, who served as director of communications for Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre's leadership campaign.

She's skeptical they will, though.

Just to add, in 2021 it was already incredibly clear Trudeau was becoming unpopular. That was the time they needed to start sunsetting leadership for the parties sake. Instead we got a few people speaking out get sidelined, and that’s escalated this last year.

I think they need to decide on their leadership future and who isn’t totally burned by association. We’ll probably not see the liberals in power for 8-12 more years based on historical averages.
