Justin Trudeau Announces Resignation As Canadian Prime Minister

Former Liberal MP Dan McTeague said: "This looks like it will have an impact on the Liberal Party for generations. Many people will never vote for this party again."

Justin Trudeau has left a legacy of division, authoritarianism and disregard for individual freedoms. His administration has not only damaged Canada, but also undermined trust in his own party. This is the price of governing against the values ​​of the people.

“Many people in Canada LOVE being the 51st State. The United States can no longer suffer the massive Trade Deficits and Subsidies that Canada needs to stay afloat. Justin Trudeau knew this, and resigned. If Canada merged with the U.S., there would be no Tariffs, taxes would go way down, and they would be TOTALLY SECURE from the threat of the Russian and Chinese Ships that are constantly surrounding them. Together, what a great Nation it would be!!!”, Trump posted on his truth social account.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Monday (local time) that he would resign as the leader of Liberal Party and as Prime Minister as soon as a new candidate is found for the post.
Trudeau said that he had spoken to the Liberal Party President to start looking for a new Prime Ministerial candidate.

On Bangladesh Court issuing second arrest warrant for former PM Sheikh Hasina, former Addl. Solicitor General of India & President of Supreme Court Bar Association, Vikas Singh says, "International Criminal Tribunal is a tribunal set up in Bangladesh on the basis of a domestic law of Bangladesh where they recognise certain international crimes and this arrest warrant is by a domestic court of Bangladesh. For that arrest warrant to be made effective, there will have to be an extradition from India. It is only after extradition from India that this warrant can be made effective. For extradition, the particular offender has several protections. One of them is that for a political crime, you can't be extradited. The other protection is that the punishment in the country which is seeking extradition should not have a higher punishment than that is provided for the similar offence in India. So, considering all these safeguards and all the other safeguards that they have, they will have to move an Indian court for getting the extradition. It is doubtful whether an extradition can be granted under these circumstances."
