    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Officials from Trudeau’s team called caucus members Tuesday to get feedback on the party’s direction after the surprise loss in Toronto-St. Paul’s, sources told Radio-Canada.

    Dan Arnold, chief strategy officer at the polling firm Pollara, said other external events — like a summer of wildfires — could bring the issue of climate change back to the fore, which could work to the Liberals’ advantage.

    Coletto said the results in Toronto-St. Paul’s, and a year of low Liberal polling numbers, indicate people are unhappy with the direction of the country and want change.

    The party’s roadmap after losing a historically safe Liberal seat in Toronto to Conservative candidate Don Stewart by 590 votes is unclear.

    Sources — who spoke to Radio-Canada on the condition of anonymity because they aren’t authorized to speak publicly — said the Prime Minister’s Office has been calling caucus members to gauge their morale after the defeat.

    A handful of Liberals — who also spoke to CBC on the condition they not be named because they are not cleared to talk publicly about internal party politics — suggested that Trudeau needs to resign.
