Justin Trudeau, your time is up. For the good of your party, the good of your country, the good of the Canadian people, it’s time to leave.

Quite frankly, your time has been up for a long time now, you’ve just refused to listen. The Canadian people have made it clear that they are done with you leading the country.

Chrystia Freeland’s decision to resign as finance minister, and to upbraid you and your policies on the way out the door, is just the latest sign that you have overstayed your welcome. There are now reportedly 60 Liberal MPs calling on you to step down, joining millions of Canadians who feel the same way.

You have ignored the public polling, you have defied those in your own party, some of your own advisors and others who have told you to go graciously.

Rather than leave graciously, you have clung to power in the false belief that you are uniquely positioned to save Canada. Your messianic complex — where you view yourself as the only person who can rescue Canada from the problems our country faces — is clearly clouding what little judgment you have left.

The most recent public polls have your party tied with the NDP, a fall from grace that should be an embarrassment for any political leader.

Ipsos puts Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives at 44% voter support, that is more than the 21% your Liberal Party is receiving even after combining it with the 21% supporting Jagmeet Singh and the NDP. Your support among women, once one of your strongest voting blocs is now down to 20%, that’s half of the 40% of women who say they will back Poilievre and the Conservatives.
