Trudeau not seeking re-election as MP following resignation as prime minister 

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is ending his 17-year political career, confirming he does not plan to run for a position as a Liberal MP in the upcoming election

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced the end of his 17-year career in politics, saying he does not plan to run for a position as a Liberal MP in the upcoming election.

During a January 15 press conference, Trudeau revealed that he will not seek re-election as a Member of Parliament (MP) for the Quebec riding of Papineau which he has held since 2008.

“In terms of my own decisions, I will not be running in the upcoming election,” Trudeau told reporters during a press conference alongside Canada’s premiers.

“As to what I might be doing later, I honestly haven’t had much time to think about that at all, I am entirely focused on doing the job that Canadians elected me to do in an extraordinarily pivotal time right now,” he continued.

Trudeau’s announcement comes just over a week after he told Canadians that he would be stepping down as prime minister and Liberal Party leader.

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.

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 came just a few weeks after both his housing minister Sean Fraser, and his deputy prime minister and finance minister, Chrystia Freeland, announced they were stepping down from their posts.

Regardless of his resignation, every major political party in Canada, including the Conservative Party, the New Democratic Party (NDP) and Bloc Québécois, has promised to bring an election as soon as possible.

Indeed, as LifeSiteNews previously reported, each of the possible contenders for Liberal leader is set to plunge Canada into another term of anti-freedom laws.

Trump fires chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff, appoints new military leader

President Donald Trump announced Friday the dismissal of General Charles Brown, the current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump expressed his gratitude toward Brown for his extensive contributions and leadership, wishing him and his family a prosperous future. Brown’s departure marks a pivotal moment in U.S. military leadership following over 40 years of service.

“I want to thank General Charles “CQ” Brown for his over 40 years of service to our country, including as our current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He is a fine gentleman and an outstanding leader, and I wish a great future for him and his family,” Trump wrote.

Simultaneously, Trump introduced his nominee for Brown’s successor.

“Today, I am honored to announce that I am nominating Air Force Lieutenant General Dan “Razin” Caine to be the next Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. General Caine is an accomplished pilot, national security expert, successful entrepreneur, and a “warfighter” with significant interagency and special operations experience,” Trump said.

Trump said Caine’s appointment comes after he was overlooked for advancement during former President Joe Biden’s presidency.

“General Caine was passed over for promotion by Sleepy Joe Biden. But not anymore! Alongside Secretary Pete Hegseth, General Caine and our military will restore peace through strength, put America First, and rebuild our military,” Trump said. President Trump also announced plans to appoint five additional senior military officials, tasks he has delegated to Secretary Hegseth.

It was reported Thursday that Hegseth plans to dismiss Brown as part of President Trump’s commitment to eliminate “wokeness” from the military. Brown reportedly appears on a list of proposed removals submitted to Congress.

Brown had previously expressed his wish to retain his position even after Trump took office, and according to sources speaking to NBC News in Dec. 2024, Trump seemingly moderated his views on the general. Biden nominated Brown as chairman in 2023, and despite a heated confirmation hearing where senators scrutinized his alleged implementation of racial quotas in Air Force hiring practices, he was confirmed.

Meanwhile, Brown’s replacement, Caine, took office as the associate director for Military Affairs at the CIA on Nov. 3, 2021, after serving as the director of Special Programs at the Pentagon. Lt. Gen. Dan Caine, an F-16 pilot with extensive experience including over 150 combat hours, was commissioned in 1990 and has held numerous key roles, from the White House staff to special operations, and balances his military career with entrepreneurial ventures.
