CNN Backtracks…..
Chaos erupts when Canadian Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, a World Economic Forum adherent, resigns from Prime Minister Trudeau’s cabinet. NDP and Conservatives accuse PM Trudeau of being weak and unable to stand up to Trump. Trudeau considers resigning.
Keep in mind that, by all accounts, PM Trudeau is under house arrest, wearing a microchip that tracks his movements. The logical inference from that is that he’s white-hat-controlled.
Chrystia Freeland’s unexpected resignation sparks stunned reactions from all sides
Freeland said PM Trudeau told her Friday she would no longer be serving as finance minister
Chrystia Freeland’s resignation as finance minister and deputy prime minister sent shock waves through Ottawa on Monday.
“Chrystia Freeland is a good friend, someone I work with very closely … This news has hit me really hard,” Transport Minister and Treasury Board President Anita Anand said on her way into a cabinet meeting.
Freeland announced her resignation in a letter written to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that she posted to social media. In that letter, Freeland said Trudeau told her last week that she would be moved out of the finance portfolio and offered her a different cabinet position.
“Upon reflection, I have concluded that the only honest and viable path is for me to resign from the Cabinet,” she wrote.

Former coalition member, Jagmeet Singh of the New Democratic Party, wants Trudeau to go.
Trudeau ‘has to go,’ [Canadian] NDP’s Singh says in call to ‘resign’
Uday Rana, Global News, December 16, 2024

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh on Monday called on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau “to resign,” adding that “all options” were on the table when asked if he would support a non-confidence motion.
“Instead of focusing on these issues, Justin Trudeau and the Liberals are focused on themselves. They’re fighting themselves instead of fighting for Canadians. And for that reason, today, I’m calling on Justin Trudeau to resign,” Singh said.
“He has to go.”
The minority Liberals have survived recent tests of confidence with support from the NDP.
Conservatives repeatedly called in question period on Monday for the government to either test the confidence of the House of Commons, or go to Rideau Hall and ask the governor general for a snap election.
“Justin Trudeau has lost control and yet he clings to power,” Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said in remarks outside the House of Commons just before question period.
“We cannot accept this kind of chaos, division, weakness while we’re staring down the barrel of a 25 per cent tariff from our biggest trading partner and closest ally.”
He said U.S. president-elect Donald Trump “can spot weakness from a mile away.”
“We simply cannot go on like this,” Poilievre said. “Mr. Trudeau is being held in office by one man: Mr. Jagmeet Singh.”

Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre is certainly my choice to take over, as long as former Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybaud doesn’t toss her hat in the ring. But these elections – and all others – will be superseded by the elections mandated by G/NESARA.
Bell: Poilievre says Canada is in ‘a very dangerous place’ with Trudeau
‘It’s just another insane, divisive, asinine, costly idea,’ says Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government looking at taxing Canadian oil going to the U.S.

After nearly a decade in power, the reign of Canada’s far-left Prime Minister Justin Trudeau may finally be coming to an end.
According to sources who spoke with CTV, Trudeau is currently “considering his options” after the shock resignation of his Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland.
In a public resignation letter, Freeland said that Canada faces a “grave challenge” from the incoming Trump administration, which she described as “pursuing a policy of aggressive economic nationalism, including a threat of 25 per cent tariffs.”
The letter read:
We need to take that threat extremely seriously. That means keeping our fiscal powder dry today, so we have the reserves we may need for a coming tariff war. That means eschewing costly political gimmicks, which we can ill afford and which make Canadians doubt that we recognize the gravity of the moment.
That means pushing back against ‘America First’ economic nationalism with a determined effort to fight for capital and investment and the jobs they bring. That means working in good faith and humility with the Premiers of the provinces and territories of our great and diverse country, and building a true Team Canada response.
I know Canadians would recognize and respect such an approach. They know when we are working for them, and they equally know when we are focused on ourselves. Inevitably, our time in government will come to an end. But how we deal with the threat our country currently faces will define us for a generation, and perhaps longer. Canada will win if we are strong, smart, and united.
It is this conviction which has driven my strenuous efforts this fall to manage our spending in ways that will give us the flexibility we will need to meet the serious challenges presented by the United States.

Will this simply result in a mammoth boondoggle? And will Trump use EO13818 to claw back the money later?
White House Chief of Staff Outlines Biden’s Priorities for Final 42 Days in Office
Tom Ozimek, NTD News, December 9, 2024
(https://www.ntd.com/white-house-chief-of-staff-outlines-bidens-priorities-for-final-42-days-in-office_1033607.html?utm_source=ntddailynoe&src_src=ntddailynoe&utm_campaign=ntd-2024-12-11&src_cmp=ntd-2024-12-11&utm_medium=email)
White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients has outlined a high-priority agenda for the Biden administration’s remaining 42 days in office, rallying his team for a final push to achieve key policy goals, including canceling more student debt and getting as many judicial nominees confirmed as possible.
In a memo to White House staff on Dec. 9, Zients urged staff to capitalize on the limited time remaining for the administration of President Joe Biden, whose term ends on Jan. 20, 2025, when President-elect Donald Trump will be sworn in.
“We have 42 days left to sprint to the finish line and get as much done as possible for the American people,” Zients wrote in the memo viewed by The Epoch Times.
In his message, Zients outlined four key priorities for the administration’s final stretch: advancing Biden’s Investing in America agenda, working with Congress on key legislation and judicial confirmations, making progress on foreign policy initiatives, and canceling more student debt for public service workers and other borrowers.
Zients said that in the final 42 days left in the Biden administration, there are plans to continue accelerating funding distributions for projects like high-speed internet expansion and clean energy initiatives. He noted that around 98 percent of the funding legally available through legislation enacted under Biden—including the $1.2 trillion Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the $800 billion or so Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)—have already been allocated.
“The President has directed us to keep up this pace and obligate as much funding as possible before the end of the term, so expect more action on high-speed internet funds to states, CHIPS incentives funding, IRA funding, and more,” Zients wrote.
With limited time remaining, Biden is also prioritizing judicial confirmations, according to Zients, who highlighted the administration’s appointments of diverse candidates thus far, including record numbers of women of color and labor lawyers confirmed as federal judges.
“At his direction, we are urging the Senate to confirm as many nominees as possible in the time we have left,” Zients wrote.
In addition to judicial nominations, the White House is working with Congress to secure disaster relief funding and avert a potential government shutdown, a looming threat amid partisan divides on Capitol Hill.
Zients also said Biden would “keep working to lower costs for families” during his final stretch in office, including by rolling out more student debt cancellation for public service workers and other borrowers. There are also plans to announce in January the full implementation of a $2,000 cap on Medicare Part D prescription drug costs.
The Biden administration is also intensifying efforts on the foreign policy front, according to Zients, who highlighted a strong focus on brokering a Gaza cease-fire with hostage releases through diplomacy with Turkey, Egypt, Qatar, and Israel. Also, the administration is bolstering Ukraine’s defense capabilities in its ongoing war with Russia by delivering more artillery, air defense systems, and other critical military support as part of a previously announced aid surge.
“And there’s so much more we’re working on—we have announcements to come on everything from climate to conservation to AI and more,” Zients wrote in the memo.
“Thank you for making the most of this final 42-day sprint,” he wrote. “Let’s finish strong.”
