For John, BLUF: There is political trouble in the always polite neighbor to our north. Nothing to see here; just move along.
Here is the sub-headline:
MPs were pulled into meetings across Parliament Hill this week to sign a pledge demanding change at the top

Here is the lede plus four:
Pressure is building on the prime minister and his office as a growing number of anxious Liberal MPs are co-ordinating efforts to force Justin Trudeau to step down as Liberal Party leader, multiple sources have told CBC News.If the Canadians are finally seeing the problem with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, surely American Votrs will be able to see the problems ahead with a Harris/Walz Administration.Disgruntled Liberal MPs held a series of meetings to discuss a path forward for the party since the surprising Toronto-St. Paul's byelection loss in June.
Those talks accelerated with Parliament's return and the Montreal byelection loss. They escalated further this week with the prime minister and his chief of staff, Katie Telford, out of the country for a summit in Asia.
Some MPs are being asked to sign their names to what amounts to a pledge to stand together in calling for Trudeau to resign, multiple sources said.
The document isn't a letter to be circulated; sources describe it as a vehicle to secure a commitment from MPs to seek a leadership change, and to bind the MPs to that goal if the prime minister and his supporters push back.
