Well, the Liberal caucus meeting ended not too long ago with the expected results: Trudeau is not resigning. If I had to guess on what happened, I agree with Northern Perspective and would say that the dissident MPs got to say their piece, but the dear leader responded with the typical condescending platitudes. Essentially this:
"Thank you for your input we're glad that you feel that you speak up and we're all one big happy family. We all need to stand together because it's Poilievre who's the existential threat to the country so let the cabinet handle this. Oh, and don't you lowly backbenchers dare talk to the media."
Cue the cabinet members coming out and repeating the party line while the backbenchers slink out with scowls on their faces. I imagine this isn't over because if Trudeau is going to ignore or patronize the back bench, they could abstain or vote against the government come the next confidence vote.
