Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Promises to Resign, Prorogues Parliament

As outlined in the January 6th, 2024 CTV News post originally titled, “Justin Trudeau stepping down as Liberal leader, to stay on as PM for now,” Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has promised to resign just as soon as Liberals can find a new leader.

He will also be proroguing Parliament, cancelling all public debate and formal government business until the new Liberal leader is chosen.

Effectively, this means that the Liberal government will remain in power and an election will not be called for at least the next few months.

Which is kind of a shame, since opposition leader Pierre Poilievre kicked off his formal campaign January 2^nd, 2025 with an interview on Jordan Peterson’s podcast.

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is also preparing for the election.

As outlined in the January 6th, 2025 CBC News post, “Singh: NDP will vote against government, no matter the leader,” the NDP leader has promised again to vote against the government no matter who takes over from Trudeau and at the earliest opportunity.

But this is a promise with no teeth.

Parliament is prorogued. All public debate and voting on government business is cancelled until at least March 2025 and Singh won’t have a chance to vote against government legislation on a question of confidence until then.

All of which makes perfect sense. Singh has supported the Liberals throughout the last four years of Liberal minority government, even as he insisted that he wasn’t.

It’s also worth noting the government backlog of 273 reports, bills and acts awaiting final government approval. They’ll all die on the vine now that the current session of Parliament has been prorogued.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Some of the bill, like the proposed Bill C-63, or Online Harms Act were quite divisive and deserved to die.

On the other hand, as outlined in the January 6th, 2025 CBC News post, “Prorogation upends capital gains proposal but CRA yet to offer guidance,” entire government departments, including the Canada Revenue Service (CRA), tasked with administering Canadian tax collection, seems to have no idea which laws they should enforce or which taxes they should collect.

Meanwhile, elements within the Peoples Party of Canada (PPC) have begun suggesting that the best way to insure Canada’s future is to not vote for any of the globalists.

Just in time for this latest run up to election, Rebel News owner Ezra Levant has published a sequel to his 2019 book, The Librano’s, focused around earlier, first term Trudeau government corruption.

The new book, called “Trudeau’s Secret Plan: What he’ll do to us if he wins again,” hopefully won’t get Levant into as much trouble as his last book on Trudeau, which Elections Canada called “election interference” and fined him for publishing.

Two books by Ezra Levant available online by clicking on the image above.

The real problems are expected to hit the fan later this week, beginning with Wednesday’s National Caucus Meeting of the Liberal Party of Canada.

Their original plan was for the caucus to remove Trudeau from his position as leader of the Liberal Party, but now that Trudeau has already quit, they could potentially shower him with accolades for his ten years as Prime Minister.

This is traditionally what you do for the outgoing leader, no matter how bad a job they’ve done.

But those potential accolades could encourage Trudeau to change his mind and retake the PMs office, just like his father once did back in 1979.

The November 21st, 2024 CBC News post, “When Pierre Trudeau's plans to step down in 1979 didn't work out,” is well worth reading in the context of the current political situation.

UK Grooming Gangs

As outlined in the January 5th, 2025 Free Press post, “The Biggest Peacetime Crime—and Cover-up—in British History,” there are growing demands for a public inquiry into the UK governments perceived cover-up of domestic “grooming gang” activities.

The term refers to organized groups that engage in the sexual exploitation of children, primarily targeting vulnerable young girls. These gangs often operate by befriending and grooming their victims, offering gifts, alcohol, or drugs to manipulate and control them before subjecting them to sexual abuse.

The gangs are often considered to be affiliated with recent immigrants, primarily young, military age males from Muslim countries, although this is not often reflected in police records, which provide confusing and sometimes contradictory information.

Whatever the actually of the situation, the problem has been a slowly growing cancer on British political discussions over the last decade.

But while the front faces of the current crisis are UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer (who denies a cover-up) and billionaire industrialist Elon Musk (who is currently publicizing the issue on “X”), the actual charges were unearthed slowly and painstakingly over a period of years by UK activist and independent journalist Tommy Robinson.

Robinson has also built a portfolio of stories on politics over the last decade through his independent work at Canadian based Rebel News and in other places.

But as outlined in the October 24th, 2024 Mint post, “Who is Tommy Robinson? Fans of anti-Islam leader in UK use Donald Trump’s US election slogan amid unrest, get arrested,” the English gentry is not enamored with his perspective.

As a result, Robinson has spent substantial time in UK prisons for a variety of reasons, mostly related to his journalism and activism.

Robinson is currently spending time in jail over his latest documentary “Silenced,“ which is focused on UK grooming gangs. The documentary has been banned in the UK although its available for viewing in “X,“ Elon Musk’s social media platform.

The January 3^rd, 2024 Al Jazeera post, “Who is Tommy Robinson and why is Elon Musk throwing his weight behind him?,” goes into a little more detail about both Robinson and Musk.

Starmer is not well respected with the incoming Trump administration, where Musk is slated to have an important role in the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

There’s also some bad blood between the UK and US leaders.

As outlined in the October 24th, 2024 Economic Times post [2Capture5], “Is Keir Starmer and UK's Labour Party interfering in U.S elections? Donald Trump has this to say,” Prime Minister Starmer has previously been accused of interfering in the 2024 US presidential elections.

Incoming US president Trump may only be returning the favor via his trusty lieutenant.

Whatever else is going on at the sidelines, the core takeaway is obvious. Musk’s social media platform “X“ is multiplying the power of Robinson’s original story many times.

The only cloud on the horizon in this story of heroes and villains is Blackrock. In December and as outlined in the December 24th, 2024 Mint post [2Capture8], “Elon Musk’s xAI raises $6 billion funding from BlackRock, Nvidia, AMD, and others,” evil empire conglomerate BlackRock made a multibillion-dollar investment in Musk owned “X AI” in late December.

Will the new investor sour Musk’s free speech activism? Only time will tell.

Drones and/or UFO’s

After months of confusing reports of masses of either drones or UFO roving up and down the United States east coast, it’s suddenly, over the last week or so, become perfectly acceptable for media outlets to discuss large masses of small drones as an organized modern day military weapon of war.

A quick Google search shows:

• The January 4^th, 2025 The Guardian post, “‘It is impossible to outrun them’: how drones transformed war in Ukraine.”

• The January 5th, 2025 Kyiv Independent post, “Syrskyi orders to reinforce French-trained brigade with drones after reports of mismanagement.”

• The January 4th, 2024 Defence Express post, “Ukrainian Air Defense FPV Drones Now​ Reach Targets Deep in the Rear, It's Important.”

• The January 6th, 2024 3D Natives post, “Chinese Military Tests 3D Printing and Drones for Weapons Maintenance.”

In essence, and as outlined in the January 5th, 2025 CBC News post, “Canada's skies are opening to new drone rules in 2025,” the market for military drones is “exploding.”

The new, low cost weapons platforms are being pitched as being easily replaceable with cheap portable 3D printers, capable of countering larger more traditional drones such as the General Atomics MQ-1 Predator and able to effectively compensate for reduced manpower in environments like the Ukraine.

This new openness on the topic coincides with the ramping up of a PR campaign publicizing the civilian capabilities and applications for this new generation of technology.

As an example, here’s the January 2nd, 2024 CCTV Video News Agency on YouTube post, “Chinese Team Controls over 10,000 Drones with Single Computer in Dazzling Display.”

One feature of current drone warfare is the capacity of small fleets of drones to spray large areas with insecticides or whatever the modern version of “Agent Orange” happens to be.

Some have suggested that drones are now a component of the latest geo-engineering plan to release harmful substances into metro areas using, barium, aluminum, strontium, and other chemicals.

There is also the possibility that vaccine ingredients and/or nano-particles could be released by drones over large population centers in an effort to either respond to support the latest false pandemic narratives flooding legacy media.

Preliminary PR over the holidays has been noting that Hospitals are overflowing in China and Avian Influenza, or ” Bird Flu” seems poised to become the next big pandemic scare.

Trump Certified by Congress

Incoming US president Donald Trump has been certified as the winner of the 2024 US presidential election by the US Congress.

As outlined in the January 6th, 2025 New York Times post, “Congress Certifies Trump’s Victory,” lawmakers in Congress have “officially certified President-elect Donald J. Trump’s election victory in a constitutionally mandated joint session on Monday, peacefully performing a basic ritual of democracy…”

The incoming US president is expected to immediately pardon over 1,000 individuals convicted for their involvement in January 6, 2021 Capitol protests, held against perceived irregularities in the 2020 presidential election.

Then, as outlined in the January 5th, 2025 We Are Change, post, “Major Disclosures Just Days Away! UFOs Tied To Drones And Las Vegas PSYOPs??” major disclosures are expected after January 20^th, when Trump takes office.

Biopsies and Cancer Metastasis

And finally tonight, here’s the January 3^rd, 2024 Mongo Minds on Bitchute post, “A Biopsy Is Almost A Guarantee Of Cancer Metastasis & Acceleration.”
