Bulletins and News Discussion from January 6th to January 12th, 2025 - The Fall of Trudeau - COTW: Canada

The Liberals, headed by Trudeau, have not been doing so hot lately. Polls have been rather poor, showing the party far behind the Conservatives, and the Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland (an outspoken apologist for Ukrainian Nazis) resigned recently, with more MPs following her lead. Trump's return to power has shaken the Canadian establishment due to his threats to impose massive tariffs on Mexico and Canada, which will have substantial economic consequences given that Canada sends most of its exports to the US, compounding the economic malaise that has affected most of the world over the last few years.

With all this bad news, there are rumors and reports that Trudeau will soon resign, ending his nine years of rule. His fall would be yet another casualty in the wave of incumbent parties falling across the imperial core, only to be replaced by more conservative parties that have very similar policies but wish to cast all blame and hardship onto minorities.

A day after Trump spoke of the 'Gulf of America', Mexico's president defends calling the US 'Mexican America'.
Claudia Sheinbaum's ironic suggestion was a rejoinder to Trump, who suggested renaming the Gulf of Mexico the 'Gulf of America' during a press conference on Tuesday (7). The president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, suggested on Wednesday (8) that the United States should be renamed “Mexican America”. Her comment was a rejoinder to President-elect Donald Trump's talk of renaming the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America”, referring to the USA.
“Obviously the Gulf of Mexico is recognized by the United Nations. But why don't we call [the United States] 'Mexican America'? Nice name, right? Let's call it that, then,” said Sheinbaum, pointing to a map showing Mexico with territories that currently belong to the US, and with the US appearing in green under the name ‘Mexican America’.
Trump defended the name change of the Gulf of Mexico, the largest in the world, during a press conference on Tuesday (7), less than two weeks before returning to the US presidency. Trump also made other inflammatory statements, such as not ruling out the use of military force to seize Greenland and the Panama Canal, in addition to the intention to fix Canada's economic strangulation.
To explain the suggestion, made ironically, Sheinbaum cited a Constitution of Apatzingán, promulgated in 1814, but which was never broken. The text proposes the creation of a State throughout the territory of North America, which covers Mexico, the USA and Canada. The Mexican president also said that Trump is living in the past.
