Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will be making an announcement on his political future this morning at Rideau Cottage. According to the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), Trudeau “will be making an announcement and answering questions from the media this morning at 10:45 a.m.” This comes as CTV News has confirmed that staffers in the PMO are meeting on Monday. Two sources tell CTV News that they expect the prime minister and his chief of staff Katie Telford will convey to the broader team that they do not see a path forward for Trudeau’s continued leadership, in the absence of support from the Liberal caucus. A majority of the Ontario, Atlantic, Quebec and B.C. caucuses determined over the Christmas break that they want Trudeau to step aside, and a national, daylong caucus to discuss that fact and next steps has been set for Wednesday. https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/business/politics/2025/01/06/pmo-staffers-to-meet-monday-as-trudeaus-announcement-looms/

The latest public sector strike that halted Canada’s economy was the Canadian Postal Workers strike in the lead-up to Christmas but this issue has been a persistent issue for many years. Powerful unions in critical industries have been forcing workers to down tools when they’re needed the most. Most Canadians agree that unions should be able to strike and bargain for better wages and rights, but should that include critical industry workers as well who routinely use strikes to shut down the economy? https://tnc.news/2025/01/03/faulkner-morgan-big-unions-hostage/

The impact of Artificial Intelligence on the economy is heating up as AI begins to seep from its original killer app of cheating on college essays and porn. According to layoff firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas, in the last year, AI has accounted for one in ten layoffs in the tech sector and one in 50 layoffs overall. On the other hand, if it’s hard to create new jobs, think Detroit in the 1970’s. A hellscape. The old jobs are gone, nothing to replace them. Minimum wage at best, riots over universal basic income at worst. https://activistpost.com/2024/12/will-ai-cause-mass-deflation.html

OTTAWA — With the fall economic statement to be presented just before they go back to their ridings for Christmas, some Liberal MPs are expressing concern that their government will be blowing past their self-imposed target of keeping deficits below $40 billion. “It’s not an unlimited pot,” said Liberal MP Wayne Long about the federal government’s financial means. “I think that we do need to show fiscal restraint.” https://windsorstar.com/news/liberals-concern-chrystia-freeland-40-billion-deficit/wcm/22528c4c-528c-48f4-a543-558aaa364943?__vfz=medium%3Dstandalone_content_recirculation_with_ads
