[speaking french] she has been by my side for the past 10 years now. she has been a political partner, essential partner. she has been involved in almost everything that we have accomplished in government, i think. i would really have loved for her to choose to stay on as vice prime minister, deputy prime minister, rather, and she take on one of the most important files that our government will be facing in the coming months and years, but she didn't want to do that. in terms of the details of that conversation, i'm not someone inclined to share the details of private c

there's been speculation for weeks that trudeau will step down. kind of impact could have on u.s. canadian relations? >> donald trump certainly soured the relationship during a visit and after a visit on november 29th when trudeau went down to mar-a-lago, trump announced 50% tariffs on canada and mexico or 25% tariffs rather on canada and mexico and immediately he started calling him on truth social governor, the governor of canada. he was diminishing him and several weeks ago his long- standing closest adviser and deputy prime minister resigned in protest over his policy saying he was engaging in political gimmicks. it had a lot to do with spending, he was willing a minority coalition in parliament since his re-election . there has to be an election -- a national election in october, but now they will probably be parliamentary elections for a new party leader because we expect he will step down after almost a decade of leadership of the liberal party. he was elected, very popular with a big popular mandate for doing a lot on climate change, the e

trudeau caught on a microphone mocking trump when trump was president. how do you think the president- elect is likely to view this announcement? >> reporter: no doubt he will consider himself responsible because he is responsible for all things he liked and not responsible for things he does not like. i'm sure he will take credit for this and say this is the result of trudeau's terrible relationship he had with him, trump, and therefore he is paying the price for not being nicer to trump. that is the way he normally casts these kinds of things. trump is definitely a factor, but trudeau's round has shift beneath him before the election in november. of course, he was once a shining star in canada but people have long since lost, you know, their faith in him. his government had a hard time keeping that coalition together. his trusted deputy resigned with a blast to his leadership which i think was a devastating blow for him and his time was clearly over. he is facing a political circumstance at home and he has come to recognize that and today. >> after mar

there is no doubting just how big crisis this is for mr trudeau's liberal party.ars in power, there is a sense of tiredness, of directionless and it is facing opinion polls that are some of the worst in its history. a short while ago i was outside the prime minister's office, a little way up the road from parliament here. there was a small crowd of protesters cheering and dancing to the song, nah nah hey hey goodbye. you know, that is to be expected of course but i think there is a sense in the wider country of something of the inevitable about this and whatever kind of political crisis this is, it also leaves canada with something of a strategic crisis. at the helm, a lame—duck prime minister, parliament prorogued, no sitting legislature, just as donald trump takes office, promising a major tradable. one way or another canada has to hold an election by october. at the heart of all this, some observers suggest, are some of the same forces shaping politics elsewhere in the world — rising populism, a cost—of—living crisis, rising concerns about levels of immigration

why is trudeau resigning? >> reporter: good morning, frances. well, trudeau's popularity has recently plummeted, recently plummeted after he was blamed for the country's high inflation and also for the political chaos. both among canadians and members of his own liberal party who have been calling for him to resign for a while now. so this amentnnouncement hasn'te as a surprise. his deputy prime minister who acted as finance minister, cynthia freeland stepped down in a position to his handling or mishandling, let's say, of donald trump's victory and the followup of that. now donald trump famously said that after he comes in office he will impose a 25% tariff on goods imported from canada as well as other countries. then he appeared to take a jab at trudeau by calling canada the 51st state of the united states and apparently ridiculed trudeau, calling him the governor of the great state of canada. all of this while trudeau was thanking donald trump for inviting him for dinner at mar-a-lago and looking forward to and saying that he was looking for

now, it was in the light of that that someone saying it was a question of time before justin trudeau leading the country. but it is by no means certain that whoever replaces him will go on to become prime minister because the liberal party, this is part of the problem that led to justin is part of the problem that led tojustin trudeau's doudle, is some 20 points behind the rubble conservative party into the opinion polls in canada at the opinion polls in canada at the moment.— the moment. and it is the economic— the moment. and it is the economic challenges i the moment. and it is the economic challenges that | the moment. and it is the i economic challenges that have kept canadians over the edge, it would seem, cost of living, high inflation, high cost of housing but also add to that the tariffs that could be impose in the very near future on canadian goods which could have a huge impact on their economy?— have a huge impact on their econom ? ~ , , ., . ~ economy? absolutely. the lack of affordable _ economy? absolutely. the lack of affordable housing, - economy? absolutely. the lac

unfortunately trudeau won't give us the opportunity to send trudeau the message.erves by unelecting him. he has resigned and let somebody else take the fall. but, pending some sort of absolute catastrophe, i have no idea what could possibly derail the conservative movement in canada right now. conservative voters, canadians, by and large, are going to send an extinction level event tile meteor right into the liberal party at the earliest election call. and i can't wait for it. it couldn't happen to a nicer bunch, these liberals. >> laura: now, is there anyone in trudeau's party who can rise to the forehere? i talked to my canadian friends today and they said there is really no one. because they all essentially rubber stamped what he was doing as time went on and so they all are culpable here. >> well, that's the thing. i don't know how the liberal party gets around the problem they have with all being tainted by being yes men for justin trudeau and his bad policies for the last nine-plus years. even if they look to the outside of the party. we have got names like

with trudeau announcing his registration, the liberal leadership race is on.g they will lose the next election regardless. so could a new leadership help the liberals when the next election. what are you expecting to happen next? justin trudeau has stepped down in order to allow this leadership process to take place in the liberal party, and i think the question is from a canadian domestic political perspective, whether any new liberal leader will be able to distance himself or herself from the legacy of the trudeau years and any difference that will be convincing to the electorate. he has given them space by proroguing parliament until the end of march. the liberals will be quickly organising to get a leadership in place. this is something that has been brewing for a long time, the events of the announcement of the potential tariffs are basically a tipping point, leading to the step—down of point, leading to the

justin trudeau uses it. is a bloomberg headline that banks were collecting information on the truckers. it was positively orwellian the way the freedom convoy was treated. >> that is exactly right. bank accounts being frozen for some of those truckers. it was absolutely ridiculous. this is a cautionary tale for leaders in power. if you start to get disconnected from the people you have been elected to represent, you won't stay in office for long. honestly, i have a little anecdotally, i saw this firsthand with justin trudeau. when i was in ukraine training armed forces, we had canadian servicemen who were there with us. justin trudeau came to visit. he comes to a military base, showing up, he's got no tie on. he has a laser, aviators on, khaki, hanging out. takes one picture with them and says they can't approach him afterwards. i don't know if they were able to shake his hand. i thought, that is something you would never see from president trump. he shakes every member's hand. he is connected to people. tha

ka justin trudeau knew this and resigned.ean, look, saying 51st state governor trudeau, that stiffens the spines of so many canadians. it could actually backfire. more to the point, you saw a diminished leader today in justin trudeau. that is more somber than i have ever seen him. he says he's a fighter but knew he could not get in the ring for this one. the point is what comes next, pierre pierre poilievre has a conservative base. >> what about prime minister gretzky, is that a real thing? >> well, the president- elect suggested that as well. and i think -- i've only met him once, but i can tell you right now, he's not for politics. he said it a million times. just saying. >> fair enough. paula newton, thank you. >>> coming up next, the historic settlement announced after the pentagon's don't ask, don't tell policy forced some 30,000 service members out of the military. >>> breaking news. rudy giuliani held in contempt of court months now after a new york court found him liable for defaming to georgia election workers. >>> b

trudeau has been under pressure for many months. what do we know about the reports and this potential resignation for trudeau and the challenges that the canadian leader has been facing? >> there's a lot of challenges he's been facing. this is kind of the culmination of the past month and a lot of the issues and difficulties him and the party have face. they are reporting he will be resigning or likely to resign at some point this week and reuters reporting as well afterwards that he is likely to resign by wednesday, when his party is expected to have a caucus meeting so sometime before wednesday although i should know clearly that he has not as was reported in the globe and reuters decided definitively that he will step down but certainly it is a surprise despite this pushback he has been getting. his favorability ratings that have been low in the main issue that happened last month which is his finance minister is stepping down with this letter she wrote to the canadian people that was a complete surprise and led a lot of this mom

got in but i see great opportunity now because the canadian dollar is now the trudeau peso.ll these resources i've encouraged others to do what i'm doing, i transferred my first allocation last week at the canadian dollar was plummeting. i can't pick the bottom but i think it could be $0.60. i'm waiting and putting more to work because i'm going to go back in there after all if you get in the end start investing. >> martha: it's a country with tremendous resources and one of our largest trading partners obviously. we'll be watching as this happens and we'll see what the relationship with canada and the united states looks like and whether or not it changes shape fundamentally and i would love to hear more on your tiktok proposition because that is interesting too, thank you, good to see you. a live look now at a dangerous winter storm with millions of people in its path, fox weather reports the blast of snow and ice blamed for at least six deaths in the midwest as it takes aim at the east coast now. fox weather meteorologist reporting live from washington, d.c., were of cour

that's been an issue for trudeau.en getting hit at home on the economy as well and how he's been handling that and then over christmas, trump has been trolling him, saying wayne gretzky, the hockey great, should run for prime minister in canada. he is now calling justin trudeau the governor because he's considering it the 51st state and finally, anderson, trump's billionaire buddy elon musk unleashed his own assault on trudeau online writing this, he's such an insufferable tool, he won't be in power much longer. all of that, anderson, combined, has been a real issue for justin trudeau at home. >> can you remind people of his background? he ascended to the prime minister job in 2015 and it was a huge story. >> yeah, i mean, he was born on christmas and comes from a family of politics. his father was a prime minister of canada for four terms. he worked as a high schoolteacher before joining parliament, he was elected to parliament in 2008 at the age of 36. and then eventually he got real jolt of popularity in 2012 into

trump's tariff threat pushed trudeau out of office, but the former far left prime minister trudeau of canada is still trying to attack trump, but he's now getting slammed on twitter and social media for that. i'm going to show you what's going on jason rantz will break it down. we've got much more after the break. please stay right there. we'll be back in two. >> we don't need their cars. i'd rather make them in detroit. we don't need their lumber. we don't need their dairy products. we don't need anything so why are we losing $200 billion a year and more to protect canada? where ya headed? susan: where am i headed? am i just gonna take what the markets gives me? no. i can do some research. ya know, that's backed by j.p. morgan's leading strategists like us. when you want to invest with more confidence... the answer is j.p. morgan wealth management (traffic noises) (♪) the road to opportunity. is often the road overlooked.

justin trudeau knew this and resigned."uggest that canada should merge with the u.s. do you think mr. trump and his attitude towards trudeau played a role in his weakening? >> i would say the statement is true trump made today and previous similar ones are nonsense and viewed as nonsense here. the dynamic that led to trudeau resigning today was underway long before mr. trump was elected in november. with that said, donald trump's threat of imposing 25% tariffs on canada and other countries once he takes office, that is taken very seriously here and it would have devastating effects. i should say with regard to donald trump's comments about canada's trade surplus that that as a result of canada selling to the u.s. the resources that the united states months including oil and electricity, 50%, more than 50% of the crude oil imports in the united states come from canada. lots of the critical minerals that fuel america's technological industries come from canada. i don't think mr. trump wants to cut those things off. amna: in t

trudeau. guest: very good question. canada has a fixed election date for years after the prior election, so that is why they have to have an election by october 20 2025. if the opposition is united, they can bring down the government. parliament is suspended until they get to march 24 of this year. on that date, there will be a new leader for the liberals, they will have a new cabinet to announce, and they will begin the session that is read by the governor general on behalf of king charles. in that moment is sort of like the state of the union, except the speeches written by the government and lays out their plan for how they want to proceed. both chambers, canada has a senate as well as a house all gathered to hear this speech. you can also vote down the speech, there will be a parliamentary vote after it, so it is possible that that moment will bring the government down. the next thing that will have to happen is canada's budget has to be announced. for those who follow these details, canada has a budget cycle that t

trump helped shiv justin trudeau before he even takes office. cammack was with me yesterday. >> it has been a long time coming. i think you are seeing a realignment happening where the people of that nation are sick and tired of tyrannical rule. putting the sovereign nation first and i think we have president donald trump to thank for that. i think he sat down across the table from president-elect donald trump and said you know, i don't think i'm qualified to handle this and i think that's why we're seeing him exit stage left. >> harris: back with me live is steve hilton. one of the things i said yesterday was we aren't shocked. when he was at mar-a-lago and trump suggested maybe canada becomes part of the united states, would you like to be the governor of the 51st state, prime minister trudeau. it became a meme, his reaction. >> it was fantastic. it was the final humiliation and the final nail in the coffin. canadians could see this guy has embarrassed us enough and it is too much now. i think all of us here in america can see a real parallel.

trudeau has no plan for canada. they have become poorer under his leadership, they have had lower standing on the world stage. nine years of leadership, he's done nothing to advance canada and people in canada are sick of it. americans have gotten wealthier than canada, their country has no path to prosperity. any national leader that is not trudeau realized they have dimi diminished. >> carley: donald trump posted on truth social saying the united states can no longer suffer massive trade deficit canada needs, justin trudeau knew this and emerged, if canada merged with u.s., there would be no tariffs, taxes would go down. this is outside the box thinking. what do you think? >> giving canada is like getting another california, don't know if i want that. he puts everything on the table. we talked to premiere of alberta yesterday and she is interesting person and wants a great relationship with united states. and conservative party leader, they want a great relationship with america. they will have to get off the woke

state, so, that's been an issue for trudeau.en getting hit at home on the economy, as well, and how he's been handling that. over christmas, trump has really been trolling him, he said that wayne gretzky, the hockey great, should run for prime minister in canada. he's now calling justin trudeau the governor, because he's considering it a 51st state. and finally, anderson, trump's billionaire buddy elon musk unleashed on trudeau online, writing this about him on, that he's such an insufferable tool, he won't be if n power much longer. >> can you just remind people of his background? his ascent to the prime minister job was a huge story. >> reporter: yeah, i mean, he was born on christmas, and he comes from a family in politics. his father was a prime minister of canada for four terms. he worked at a high school teacher before joining parliament. he was elected to parliament in 2008 at the age of 36. and then eventual little he got a real jolt of popularity in 2012 and voted into his role at prime minister in 2015. >> all right, r

trudeau. you wanted to go up against against. [indiscernible] but there has been infighting in your party. why did you make this decision today? why did you change your mind? prime minister trudeau: i don't step back from a fight especially an important fight for our party and country, in fact. i do this job because the interests on the welfare of our country and democracy are important to me. it has become very, very clear that i cannot be the leader to take the party into the next election because of internal divisions. as you all know i am a fighter and i don't back away from a fight particularly a fight as important as this one is. but i have always been driven by my love for canada, by my desire to serve canadians and what is in the best interests of canadians and canadians deserve a real choice in the next election. and it has become obvious to me with the internal battles that i cannot be the one to carry the liberal standard into the next election. [speaking french] >> you have been in office, canada has changed under you
