Following a significant byelection defeat in a downtown Toronto riding, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has opted for individual discussions with members of his Liberal caucus instead of committing to a national caucus meeting. This decision comes amidst a backdrop of internal party dissatisfaction and calls for a collective discussion on the byelection results. Despite the unrest, Trudeau has expressed his commitment to remain as Prime Minister and is focusing on governing, while giving MPs the opportunity to voice their concerns directly to him. This approach aims to address the challenges faced by the party in a more personalized manner.

It's refreshing to see Trudeau taking a hands-on approach by engaging directly with MPs after the byelection loss, showing a willingness to listen and adapt, which is crucial for progressive leadership. However, sidestepping a national caucus meeting might not be the best move, as it could limit broader party engagement and transparency on how they plan to tackle their current challenges together.

Seems like Trudeau is trying to play damage control by avoiding a public display of party discord, but it's just another example of top-down governance ignoring the broader call for transparency and collective discussion.
