After a surprising defeat in a Toronto-area riding, a stronghold for the Liberals for decades, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau faces mounting scrutiny over his leadership and the future direction of the Liberal Party. The loss in Toronto-St. Paul’s, considered one of the safest Liberal ridings since 1993, has sparked debate over whether Trudeau's approach, particularly on issues like antisemitism and the Middle East crisis, is alienating voters.
