As Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau (in pic) continues to walk on thin ice, both at home and abroad, many leaders from his own party and several Members of Parliament are now planning to go beyond just publicly expressing dissatisfaction with his leadership and officially demand his resignation in the coming days.

On Thursday, Canada's leading daily The Globe and Mail reported that at least 20 MPs have agreed to put their names on a demand to oust Trudeau a move which it said appears to be "quickly snowballing into a serious effort" to force him out.

The newspaper said that caucus members are expected to present within days an official demand that Trudeau steps down from party leadership.
