The <em>BBC<\/em> published his full statement in English:<\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-18fde0d6-0 dlWCEZ\" data-component=\"text-block\">\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">Every morning I&#8217;ve woken up as prime minister, I&#8217;ve been inspired by the resilience, the generosity, and the determination of Canadians. It is the driving force of every single day I have the privilege of serving in this office.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">That is why, since 2015, I have fought for this country &#8211; for you &#8211; to strengthen and grow the middle class.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">Why we rallied to support each other through the pandemic, to advance reconciliation, to defend free trade on this continent, to stand strong with Ukraine and our democracy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">And to fight climate chance and get our economy ready for the future. We are at a critical moment in the world.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">My friends, as you all know, I am a fighter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">Every bone in my body has always told me to fight because I care deeply about Canadians. I care deeply about this country. And I will always be motivated by what is in the best interest of Canadians.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">And the fact is, despite best efforts to work through it, parliament has been paralysed for months after what has been the longest session of a minority parliament in Canadian history.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">That&#8217;s why, this morning I advised the governor general that we need a new session of parliament. She has granted this request and the house will now be prorogued until March 24.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">Over the holidays, I&#8217;ve also had a chance to reflect and have had long talks with my family about our future.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">Throughout the course of my career, any success I have personally achieved has been because of their support and with their encouragement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">So last night over dinner, I told my kids about the decision that I&#8217;m sharing with you today.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">I intend to resign as party leader, as prime minister, after the party selects its next leader through a robust, nationwide, competitive process. Last night I asked the president of the Liberal Party to begin that process.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">This country deserves a real choice in the next election and it has become clear to me that if I&#8217;m having to fight internal battles, I cannot be the best option in that election.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">The Liberal Party of Canada is an important institution in the history of our great country and democracy. A new prime minister and leader of the Liberal Party will carry its values and ideals into that next election.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">I am excited to see the process unfold in the months ahead.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">We were elected for the third time in 2021 to strengthen the economy post-pandemic and advance Canada&#8217;s interests in a complicated world, and that is exactly the job that I, and we, will continue to do for Canadians. 01\/06\/25 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/cvg62lvr845o\">https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/cvg62lvr845o<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p>When he won re-election in 2019, I warned that he was facing a more divided nation (see\u00a0<a title=\"Permanent Link to \u2018Justin Trudeau Scored A Victory, But He\u2019s Facing A More Divided Country\u2019\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/news\/prophecy\/justin-trudeau-scored-a-victory-but-hes-facing-a-more-divided-country\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">\u2018Justin Trudeau Scored A Victory, But He\u2019s Facing A More Divided Country\u2019<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>In 2022, Justin Trudeau angered many during COVID, particularly how he dealt with truck drivers who protested his harsh measures (e.g. <a title=\"Permanent Link to Canada invokes emergency powers, considers truck protesters terrorists: A prelude to 666?\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/news\/prophecy\/canada-invokes-emergency-powers-considers-truck-protests-terrorists-a-prelude-to-666\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Canada invokes emergency powers, considers truck protesters terrorists: A prelude to 666?<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Justin Trudeau has long been considered as basically out of touch by many in the lessor populated provinces of Canada.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, he has made enough anti-Donald Trump comments that even though he went to see him in Mar-a-Lago, Florida after Donald Trump was reelected, Donald Trump has since made a lot of disparaging and belittling comments about him and Canada.<\/p>\n<p>Notice also the following:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h2>Trump Tariffs Claim First Casualty as Canada\u2019s Trudeau Resigns<\/h2>\n<p>January 6, 2025<\/p>\n<p class=\"emotion-k3zb6l-Paragraph e1e4oisd0\" data-type=\"paragraph\">President-elect Donald Trump\u2019s plans to impose steep tariffs on imports to the U.S. were widely expected to\u00a0<span class=\"emotion-1dkzg5t-WrapperLink e15ssf940\"><span class=\"emotion-1exbff7-Wrapper eicu33j1\"><span id=\"ref-:ri:\" class=\"emotion-itxlux-PopoverOrigin eicu33j0\" aria-haspopup=\"dialog\"><\/span><a class=\"en1gfx0 emotion-19rk83u-OverridedLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.barrons.com\/articles\/tariffs-trump-cost-companies-autos-tech-retail-7aa55d47?mod=article_inline\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-type=\"link\">shake-up global trade<\/a><\/span><\/span>.

He will stay on as prime minister until the party picks a new leader. How America\u2019s neighbor to the north copes with the disruption that the trade levies will bring appears to be the chief problem that forced the issue.<\/p>\n<p data-type=\"paragraph\">Trudeau has been under pressure for months. He\u2019s been badly trailing the opposition Conservative Party, with an election due to be held this year. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barrons.com\/articles\/trudeau-trump-tariffs-canada-resign-f7b914df\">https:\/\/www.barrons.com\/articles\/trudeau-trump-tariffs-canada-resign-f7b914df<\/a><\/p>\n<p>6 January 2025<\/p>\n<p>Trudeau faced criticism from Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Trump mocked him as a \u201cfar-left lunatic\u201d and suggested Canada be annexed as 51st America state. Musk predicted his political downfall in the next elections. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.india.com\/news\/world\/conflict-with-india-support-of-khalistanis-and-trumps-effect-heres-how-trudeaus-game-ended-in-canada-7517213\/\">https:\/\/www.india.com\/news\/world\/conflict-with-india-support-of-khalistanis-and-trumps-effect-heres-how-trudeaus-game-ended-in-canada-7517213\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>One could say Justin Trudeau&#8217;s resignation is because of the &#8216;Trump Effect.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Even though I have had a lot of major policy and moral differences from Justin Trudeau, I suspect he believes that with Donald Trump in office that Canada would be better off with someone else as Prime Minister.<\/p>\n<p><em>ZeroHedge<\/em> published the following:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div class=\"storytitle\">\n<p>January 6, 2025<\/p>\n<p>Canada&#8217;s Prime Minister\u00a0Justin Trudeau\u00a0is resigning after more than nine years leading Canada, amid a collapse in approval ratings and a rebellion within his political party.<\/p>\n<p>Trudeau, 53, currently the longest-serving leader of any G-7 country, announced Monday he plans to step down as head of the governing Liberal Party. He will remain as prime minister until a new leader is selected, and parliament has been suspended until March 24 while that process is underway.<\/p>\n<p>The winner of the Liberal leadership contest is set to become Canada\u2019s 24th prime minister and will have to quickly prepare for an election, which the\u00a0Conservative Party\u00a0is the clear favorite to win, according to public opinion polls.<\/p>\n<p>A national vote is due by October, but it\u2019s likely it will come sooner. The three major opposition parties in parliament have\u00a0said\u00a0they will back a motion of non-confidence in the government. If they follow through on that threat, they would bring down the government, and an election campaign would begin.<\/p>\n<p>As Bloomberg notes, Trudeau\u2019s political future has been shaky for months, as he proved unable to reverse a slide in his party\u2019s fortunes that accelerated after an\u00a0inflation shock, and the resulting jump in interest rates, took a toll on Canadian households. His departure makes him the latest leader of an advanced economy to lose his grip on power. US President\u00a0Joe Biden\u00a0was forced to drop his run for reelection,\u00a0Rishi Sunak\u2019s party suffered a humbling defeat in the UK\u2019s general election, while German Chancellor\u00a0Olaf Scholz\u00a0appears set to lose a forthcoming vote.<\/p>\n<p>For Trudeau, the fatal blow was administered by Chrystia Freeland, his longtime deputy prime minister and finance minister. Once one of his closest allies, she stunned the nation on Dec. 16 by publishing a stinging resignation letter that indirectly criticized him for \u201ccostly political gimmicks\u201d at a time when Canada is preparing for a possible trade war with the US. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/political\/trudeau-out-canadian-prime-minister-likely-resign-week\">https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/political\/trudeau-out-canadian-prime-minister-likely-resign-week<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"storytitle\">\n<p>In addition to tariff threats and insults from Donald Trump, others have suggested that Canada really become part of the USA, and at least one item published suggesting that Canada try to join the European Union (see\u00a0<a title=\"Kevin O\u2019Leary wants to negotiate Canada becoming part of the USA\u2013Should Canada join the European Union?\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/news\/prophecy\/kevin-oleary-wants-to-negotiate-canada-becoming-part-of-the-usa-should-canada-join-the-european-union\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Kevin O\u2019Leary wants to negotiate Canada becoming part of the USA\u2013Should Canada join the European Union?<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Donald Trump again called for Canada to become part of the United States:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>January 6, 2025<\/p>\n<p class=\"speakable\">President-elect Trump on Monday reiterated his suggestion that\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/world\/world-regions\/canada\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Canada should become<\/a>\u00a0the 51st U.S. state, just hours after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his plan to resign.<\/p>\n<p class=\"speakable\">&#8220;Many people in Canada LOVE being the 51st State.
