Jan 5 (Reuters) - Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to announce as early as Monday that he will resign as Liberal Party Leader, The Globe and Mail reported on Sunday, citing three sources.
The sources told the Globe and Mail that they don't know definitely when Trudeau will announce his plans to leave but said they expect it will happen before a key national caucus meeting on Wednesday.
It remains unclear whether Trudeau will leave immediately or stay on as prime minister until a new leader is selected, the report said.

Trudeau took over as Liberal leader in 2013 when the party was in deep trouble and had been reduced to third place in the House of Commons for the first time.

Today, Trudeau’s leadership is under siege from multiple fronts. Critics argue that his accusations against India over the killing of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar are a desperate attempt to distract from mounting domestic challenges, including rebellion within his caucus and allegations of corruption.

Justin Trudeau and the India controversy​

In June 2023, Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a designated Khalistani terrorist, was killed in Vancouver. Trudeau later accused Indian agents of involvement in the killing, sparking a diplomatic spat.
Many commentators argue that Justin Trudeau's allegations against India serve as a distraction from China's interference in Canadian politics, which has directly benefited Trudeau and his Liberal Party. Evidence suggests that China has used financial and political influence to support Trudeau’s party in elections while pressuring rival Conservatives. Additionally, China has been operating secret police stations within Canada. In stark contrast to his confrontational approach toward India, despite lacking concrete proof, Trudeau attempted to suppress the issue of Chinese interference. Although a public inquiry into China’s actions is now underway, Trudeau appeared to be shifting attention to the Nijjar issue, using vague terms like "allegations" and "credible reasons to believe" to escalate tensions.

Trudeau’s accusations against India are seen by many Canadians as a political strategy to deflect from domestic challenges. Critics believe his goal is not just to court Khalistani Sikh voters but also to divert attention from internal struggles, including the possibility of dissent within his own Liberal Party caucus.

Justin Trudeau’s domestic turmoil​

Trudeau’s troubles extend beyond foreign policy. His government has been rocked by a corruption scandal involving the now-defunct Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC). The program, dubbed a “green slush fund,” was accused of awarding millions of dollars to ineligible projects and individuals with conflicts of interest.
Dissatisfaction with Trudeau’s leadership has also grown within his party. Reports indicated that many Liberal MPs have signed a pledge calling for his resignation. Former Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland’s unexpected resignation further highlighted the internal divisions within Trudeau’s government.

Fuck 'em....

He probably can't handle chump. Scared little pussy.

No Canadian Prime Minister can.

I'll never forget 25 years ago when George W Bush placed an embargo against Canada accusing them of price dumping their softwood lumber exports. People I knew lost their jobs over this.

Anyway, Canada took them to the world court and won a judgment of $5 billion. The US was like "bitch, make us pay. Go on, I dare you."

Canada treats the US like they have a gun to their head.
