  • Justin Trudeau is facing a political crisis after the bombshell resignation of Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, on the day of her planned economic update
  • As Canadians watched a day of considerable political turmoil for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his government given the sudden departure of Chrystia Freeland on Monday, it appears that so too was U.S. president-elect Donald Trump
  • Speaking of Donald Trump, he gave his first press conference since winning the election yesterday, promising Americans “You’re not going to lose the polio vaccine,” and that “all hell’s going to break out” if Hamas does not release the hostages it has held for over 14 months
