More than 165,000 Canadians have signed a petition for a vote of non-confidence in the House of Commons against the minority Liberal government.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is in political free-fall.

In the latest Ipsos poll, 72 percent of Canadians want Trudeau to exit federal politics and leave as leader of the Liberal Party of Canada.

Ipsos says that number is up from 60 percent in September. Even within his own party, 33 percent of Liberal supporters would like Trudeau to resign.

That’s consistent with other recent polls that show the Conservative Party of Canada, under its leader Pierre Poilievre, 19 percentage points ahead of the Liberals and headed for one of the larger majority governments in Canadian history.

Nanos Research founder Nik Nanos described what the Liberals need to stand a chance in the next federal election is a “complete reboot.”

“Either with a new leader or… Justin Trudeau with a renewed vision of why he believes that he should deserve another mandate,” Nanos said in a recent episode of CTV News Trend Line.

Canadians have even taken to the internet to try to remove Trudeau from office through the traditional legislative process.

As of Monday morning, more than 175,000 Canadians have signed a petition for a vote of non-confidence in the House of Commons against the minority Liberal government.
