Canada’s Trudeau announces resignation after nearly a decade as prime minister
SUMMARY: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his resignation after nearly a decade in power, citing internal divisions and rising voter dissatisfaction. His departure follows the resignation of his finance minister and growing opposition from all major parties. Trudeau will stay in office until a new Liberal leader is chosen. His tenure, marked by liberal policies and efforts to balance economic growth with environmental protection, faced increasing criticism, particularly over high living costs, immigration policies, and his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Trudeau’s party trails in recent polls, and a spring election is expected after his leadership change.

What to know about Trump’s calls to make Canada the ’51st state’
SUMMARY: President-elect Donald Trump has reiterated his suggestion that Canada should become the 51st U.S. state, following Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s resignation. While some dismiss Trump’s idea as posturing or joking, others worry it signals an attempt to expand U.S. influence. Trump has also floated ideas like acquiring Greenland and controlling the Panama Canal. The merger proposal is highly unpopular in Canada, with 82% of Canadians opposed. Trump’s comments may reflect efforts to increase U.S. power, though experts are unsure how seriously to take his threats. The shift in leadership in Canada complicates the response to Trump’s actions.
