Justin Trudeau’s government is facing turmoil following the abrupt resignation of his finance minister, Chrystia Freeland. This was sparked by disagreements with Trudeau on how to handle the threats made by Donald Trump, who has vowed to impose a levy of 25% on imported Canadian goods unless the shared border is made more secure. Freeland accused Trudeau of prioritising ‘costly political gimmicks’ over addressing the economic risks posed by Trump’s policies. Her departure blindsided the government, bringing Trudeau and his shaky minority Liberals to the brink - exacerbated by losing a by-election in British Columbia. There have been calls from opposition leaders but also members of his own party for Trudeau to resign, and his approval rate is now only 28%. With the next federal election due by October 2025, Canada's political landscape appears increasingly uncertain.

Canada’s two major rail freight companies have initiated a nationwide shutdown and locked out nearly ten thousand workers after failed negotiations with the Teamsters union. This unprecedented rail stoppage threatens to severely impact the Canadian economy and disrupt cross-border trade with the USA, as the country relies heavily on rail transport for shipping goods like grain, potash, coal, petroleum, and aviation fuel. The lockout will also hit the mining, agriculture and retail industries. It comes after months of tense negotiations over worsening job conditions, which failed to yield an agreement. Industry groups have urged the Canadian government to intervene, warning that the stoppage could have a cascading effect on multiple sectors, including mining, agriculture, and aviation. However, Justin Trudeau has insisted that the dispute must be resolved at the negotiating table.

Prime minister Justin Trudeau has apologised for giving a standing ovation to a war veteran who served in the Nazi Waffen-SS during Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's visit to Canada. Yaroslav Hunka, a 98-year-old Ukrainian veteran, was applauded by the House of Commons, who were unaware of his Nazi past. House speaker Anthony Rota later apologised for introducing him for applause, calling it a mistake. Trudeau condemned Rota's actions and described the incident as deeply embarrassing for the parliament of Canada and all Canadians. Jewish and Holocaust education organisations raised concerns about the celebration of a Nazi veteran. Rota, who accepted full responsibility for his actions, extended his apologies to Jewish communities in Canada and around the world. The incident occurred after Volodymyr Zelenskiy delivered a speech seeking support from Western allies. Hunka's Nazi unit has been accused of committing crimes against Polish and Jewish civilians during the Holocaust.

Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau pledged to send more military support for Ukraine at the NATO summit. His defence minister said that Canada will boost Ukraine’s arsenal by sending 39 General Dynamics-made armoured vehicles ‘this summer’. The fleet, which comprises combat support vehicles that can be used as ambulances, maintenance and recovery vehicles or to transport troops, is part of Ottawa’s $500m military support for Kyiv. They are in addition to a separate multi-billion dollar contract for 360 vehicles being delivered for the Canadian armed forces there.

According to a clause introduced by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, pro-life Christians are barred from federal funding unless they support a woman’s right to an abortion.

“I have met Justin Trudeau three times,” said Pastor Steve Long, a Canadian Baptist minister. “Sadly my last meeting with him in his office was very disappointing. He told me that evangelical Christians were the worst part of Canadian society.”

Trudeau’s enmity toward Christians is not solely against evangelicals. Canada under Trudeau has also become a very unwelcome place for Christians who flee from persecution in the Middle East.

Over 30,000 Syrian refugees were brought to Canada in an expedited manner and found themselves immediately taken care of by the Trudeau government. In the meantime, mass murder to the point of genocide of Christians has occurred within a number of Islamic nations. Trudeau has not breathed a word about the situation. Government assistance for the victims has been casual and minimal.

When questioned on his religious affiliations, Mr. Trudeau claims to be a Catholic. Yet inexplicably, his behaviour displays not an ounce of Christian identity or adherence to Christian values. It’s all so strange. In fact, his behaviour toward Christianity is downright punitive. Pushing mass abortion and euthanasia. Cancelling funding for church groups. Ignoring Christian persecution within foreign nations. Running down evangelicals.

If this is the behaviour of a believing Christian, than perhaps Osama Bin Laden deserved to be appointed Pope. Is Trudeau a practising Christian. or has another religious way of life captured his imagination? Either way, the man is as mystery of a prime minister – made all the more mysterious by establishment media obfuscation of his character and personal believe system.

Perhaps the truth will be revealed once Justin is removed from office, which according to current polls, is likely to be the case come the October, 2019 election. Thank God for this.
