The (federal) Conservatives here in Canada have a process to force out an unpopular leader of their party, a process which they used to oust Erin O'Toole after his mediocre result in the 2021 election. (The Tories in the UK have a similar process and used it twice to get rid of Boris Johnson and Liz Truss.)
It seems that the Liberals are considering adopting the same rule! With memories of Trudeau's reluctance to hit the bricks when he was so low in the polls still strong, they seem to be at least open to the idea of having a mechanism to oust a future Trudeau in a way that might be less painful for them and the country than what they finally had to do to get Trudeau out. (The Finance Minister and Deputy Prime Minister, Crystia Freeland, resigned from Cabinet hours before giving an "economic statement", essentially a mini-budget, forcing a cabinet shuffle. It still took Trudeau additional weeks to finally smell the coffee and decide to step down and additional months for a new leader to be chosen.)
I'll bet Trudeau's ears burn when he hears about this!

Of course, the Liberals may decline to adopt the change so this isn't a done deal. They must feel fairly cocky now that they've been re-elected, thanks to Trump, and may imagine that nothing will ever necessitate removing a leader who has lost the public's trust in the future.
