Trudeau Resigns! Parliament Prorogued until March 24

From LifeSiteNews
Liberal Party leader Justin Trudeau will officially resign as prime minister of Canada after a new Liberal Party leader is found.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced his resignation as prime minister of Canada and leader of the Liberal Party.
On January 6, 2025, Justin Trudeau announced his impending retirement as Canada’s prime minister after months of abysmal polling predicting a massive Conservative victory in the fall 2025 election.
“I intend to resign as party leader, as prime minister, after the party selects its next leader through a robust, nationwide, competitive process,” he told reporters outside the Rideau Cottage in Ottawa.
“Last night, I asked the President of the Liberal Party to begin that process,” Trudeau continued.
“It has become obvious to me through the internal battles that I cannot be the one to carry the Liberal banner into the next election,” he added.
Trudeau revealed that he plans to stay on as leader until the Liberal Party’s National Board of Directors selects a new leader. He also asked for Parliament to be prorogued until March 24, by which time a new leader should be selected.
The prime minister had repeatedly assuring Canadians that he would lead the Liberal Party into the 2025 election. However, inside sources revealed that Trudeau’s resignation was inevitable considering his party’s loss of popularity.
Trudeau has served as prime minister since 2015, winning three consecutive elections. However, polls have predicted a massive Conservative victory as Canadians appear to have tired of Trudeau’s radical agendas, including pushing abortion, climate regulations, and LGBT ideology targeted at children.
Trudeau’s resignation comes just a few weeks after both his Housing Minister Sean Fraser and Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland left the Liberal government.
Likewise, last week, Liberal MPs from Quebec appeared to have banded together at least unofficially to demand Trudeau’s immediate resignation.
Additionally, New Democratic Party (NDP) leader Jagmeet Singh, whose party has been propping up the Liberal minority government, called on the prime minister to resign. Singh said that, should Trudeau not step down voluntarily, he would consider voting non-confidence, saying, “all tools are on the table.”
Justin Trudeau, 53, is the son of the late Canadian prime minister Pierre Trudeau. Pierre Trudeau held the office from 1968 to 1979, and then from 1980 until his resignation shortly before the elections of 1984. Justin Trudeau, known to Canadians as a child, re-entered public life briefly when he gave the eulogy at his father’s state funeral in 2000. A drama teacher by profession, Justin Trudeau successfully ran for office in the 2008 federal elections and was elected leader of the Liberal Party in 2013.

‘I’m Cautiously Optimistic’: Doug Ford Strongly Recommends Canada ‘Not To Retaliate’ Against Trump’s Tariffs

From the Daily Caller News Foundation
By Jason Cohen
Ontario Premier Doug Ford urged Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to avoid retaliation against the tariffs President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday.
Trump announced in the White House Rose Garden that he would impose “a minimum baseline tariff of 10%” on all goods entering the United States, with Canada not being included on the list of countries with higher rates. When asked about what Canada’s response would be on “Bloomberg: Balance of Power,” Ford said he was “cautiously optimistic” about Canada’s omission from the higher-tier tariffs and emphasized the importance of a cooperative relationship with the U.S.

“Well, let’s see where these tariffs go. I’m cautiously optimistic that I never saw Canada or Mexico on that list. And it just goes to show you two great countries working together, collaborating together and building relationships,” Ford said. “So again, I’m cautiously optimistic. I think if that’s the case, it’s the right thing for both the U.S and Canada.”
Host Kailey Leinz noted that there are currently tariffs on Canada in place as well as an exemption for goods that are in compliance with the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).
“Does that mean, sir, at least in your mind, that it wouldn’t be appropriate for Canada to retaliate for this at this time?” Leinz asked.
“That is correct. If that’s the case, then I would highly recommend to the prime minister not to retaliate. And let’s carry on a strong relationship,” Ford answered. “Let’s build the American-Canadian fortress around both countries and be the wealthiest, most prosperous, safest two countries in the world.”
Trump declared a national emergency to levy a slew of reciprocal tariffs on what he has deemed “Liberation Day.”
“My fellow Americans, this is Liberation Day, April 2, 2025, will forever be remembered as the day American industry was reborn, the day America’s destiny was reclaimed, and the day that we began to make America wealthy again,” Trump said.
The president also announced that he would proceed with implementing a 25% tariff on “all foreign-made automobiles” that will take effect at midnight.
Ford in March had imposed a 25% surcharge on electricity to New York, Michigan and Minnesota, but promptly rescinded the policy and apologized to Americans on WABC’s “Cats & Cosby” radio show the following day. The tariffs were a retaliatory measure against Trump’s flurry of tariffs against Canada since starting his second term.

Liberal MP resigns after promoting Chinese government bounty on Conservative rival

From LifeSiteNews
“I find it incredible that Mark Carney would allow someone to run for his party that called for a Canadian citizen to be handed over to a foreign government on a bounty,” he said at a recent rally. “What does that say about whether Mark Carney would protect Canadians?”
Liberal MP candidate Paul Chiang has dropped out of the running after being exposed for suggesting Canadians turn in a Conservative Party candidate to the Chinese consulate to collect a bounty placed on the man by the communist regime.
In an March 31 statement, Chiang, the Liberal candidate for the Markham-Unionville riding, announced his departure from the race after a video of him suggesting a bounty could be claimed for Conservative candidate Joe Tay by handing him over to Chinese authorities circulated on social media. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police have announced they are “probing” the comments.
“I am proud of what we have achieved together and I remain deeply grateful for the trust placed in me,” he said. “This is a uniquely important election with so much at stake for Canadians. As the Prime Minister and Team Canada work to stand up to President Trump and protect our economy, I do not want any distractions in this critical moment.”
“That’s why I’m standing aside as our 2025 candidate in our community of Markham-Unionville,” he announced.
Chiang’s resignation follows backlash from Conservatives and Canadians alike when a January video from a news conference with Chinese-language media in Toronto resurfaced.
In the video, Chiang jokingly suggested that Tay, his then-Conservative rival for the Markham–Unionville riding, could be turned over to the Chinese Consulate General in Toronto in return for $1-million Hong Kong dollar bounty, about $183,000 CAD.
Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre was quick to call out Chiang’s suggestion and blasted Prime Minister Mark Carney for keeping him on the ballot.
“I find it incredible that Mark Carney would allow someone to run for his party that called for a Canadian citizen to be handed over to a foreign government on a bounty,” he said at a recent rally. “What does that say about whether Mark Carney would protect Canadians?”
Chiang has since apologized for his suggestion on both social media and personally to Tay.
“Today, I spoke with Joseph Tay, the Conservative candidate for Don Valley North, to personally apologize for the comments that I made this past January,” he wrote in a March 30 X post.
“It was a terrible lapse of judgement. I recognize the severity of the statement and I am deeply disappointed in myself,” he continued.
Carney has said remarkably little regarding the situation. First, he refused to fire the Liberal candidate, referring to Chiang’s statement as a “terrible lapse of judgment.”
“He’s made his apology. He’s made it to the public, he’s made it to the individual concerned, he’s made it directly to me, and he’s going to continue with his candidacy,” Carney said. “He has my confidence.”
Then, following the announcement of Chaing’s resignation, Carney told reporters that it was time to “move on” and that he would “leave it at that.”
