A Leger poll found two-thirds of Canadians who responded believe Justin Trudeau will remain as Liberal party leader into the next election, which must take place by the fall of 2025.

OTTAWA A majority of Canadians think Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will stay on to lead his party in the next election even as his approval ratings are still extremely low, a new poll suggests.

Questions about Trudeau’s future have swirled for more than a year as his Liberal party trails the Conservatives by a substantial margin. Those questions intensified in the last week after the Liberals lost a stronghold to the Conservatives in a byelection in Toronto on June 24.
