As expected, Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is resigning after more than nine years leading Canada, amid a collapse in approval ratings and a rebellion within his political party.

Trudeau, 53, currently the longest-serving leader of any G-7 country, announced Monday he plans to step down as head of the governing Liberal Party. He will remain as prime minister until a new leader is selected, and parliament has been suspended until March 24 while that process is underway.

The winner of the Liberal leadership contest is set to become Canada's 24th prime minister and will have to quickly prepare for an election, which the Conservative Party is the clear favorite to win, according to public opinion polls.

A national vote is due by October, but it's likely it will come sooner. The three major opposition parties in parliament have said they will back a motion of non-confidence in the government. If they follow through on that threat, they would bring down the government, and an election campaign would begin.

Another stab in the back: Biden stealth-bans most affordable gas-powered tankless water heaters

Tankless water heaters became an attractive alternative to conventional tank units: They deliver an endless supply of hot water while using a fraction of the energy.
In a significant regulatory shift that took place quietly the day after Christmas, the Biden administration finalized new climate rules targeting natural gas-powered instantaneous water heaters. The Department of Energy (DOE), which traditionally issues a press release for such regulations, chose not to announce these changes publicly, raising eyebrows across various sectors.

According to the Free Beacon, the new regulations aim to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, a move aligned with broader climate change mitigation efforts. However, the regulations are set to remove approximately 40% of the current tankless water heater models from the market by 2029 (between gas and electric). This shift is expected to force consumers to opt for either more expensive or less efficient alternatives.

SOTT Focus: NewsReal: New Year's Day Twin Terror Attacks in New Orleans and Las Vegas: Connecting the Dots

Pure coincidence that two trucks were rented by two military guys and used to commit terror attacks in two US cities late on New Year's Eve? We think not!

This week on NewsReal, Joe, Niall and guest Adam review the farce of an 'investigation' into the sickening 'crowd-plow' in New Orleans - blamed on 'ISIS' - and the equally nonsensical explanations for why an active-duty Green Beret super-soldier rented a Cybertruck and detonated it outside Trump Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip. If it looks and feels like a psy-op, that's because it probably is! But WHAT message was being sent here, presumably to Trump (and Musk)? And does this twin attack give us any clues about the System's plans in 2025?

Last half-hour: what is Musk up to, bashing the British government and sparking a furor over 'ethnic-specific grooming gangs' in England? Final word on the FOG of information war: the likely reasons for widespread, persistent, 'chemical-smelling' fog currently being observed across North America.

New steps towards the Arctic War

The Northern Corridor project promoted by Russia and China has reopened interest in the Arctic and the Poles, prompting the newly-elected US President Trump to take up the issue immediately.

During 2024, the race for northern routes intensified. The Northern Corridor project promoted by Russia and China has reopened interest in the Arctic and the Poles, prompting the newly-elected US President Trump to take up the issue immediately. Let us try to understand the reasons for a possible 'Arctic War'.

A look towards the North

The infamous North is always little thought of. At the North Pole is Father Christmas's village with his Elves producing presents for good children, but nothing more. We are used to looking at the world map from the side of the equator, but if we try to look 'from above', putting the Pole in the middle, the spatial view of the earth's geography allows us to make very different considerations.

The Arctic as a macro-region covers some 14 million square kilometres and hosts as yet uncalculated reserves of hydrocarbons, precious metals and rare earths. Competition between Arctic powers is exacerbated by overlapping territorial claims on the seabed. Article 76 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) allows states to extend their continental shelf, but claims often overlap, as in the case of the North Pole, claimed by Russia, Denmark and Canada.

Comment: Trump has a bucket list. The above are some of his 'items'.

Countdown to the European Collapse

With the ban on the flow of Russian gas to Europe through Ukrainian territory, little remains before the absolute economic and social collapse of the European continent.

Finally, energy cooperation between Russia and Europe is (almost) completely over. After nearly three years of sanctions and sabotage, the bilateral Moscow-EU energy partnership suffered its greatest historical blow. Kiev fulfilled its promise not to extend its contract with Gazprom, which was allowing the arrival of Russian gas to Europe, then creating an extremely uncomfortable energy insecurity situation for its own "partners" in the European Union.

On the morning of the first day of 2025, the Russian Federation stopped supplying gas to European buyers via Ukraine. Even amidst the conflict, the Russian Gazprom and Ukrainian Naftogaz had kept in operation an energy transit agreement signed in 2020, which expired on the last day of 2024. Previously, Kiev had already announced it was unwilling to renew the contract with Gazprom, although some European countries repeatedly asked Ukraine to do so.

US gave Ukraine 'a lot of weapons' ahead of conflict with Russia - Blinken

The "quietly" supplied armaments have proven "instrumental" in the country's defense, according to the US secretary of state.

Washington supplied "a lot of weapons" to Ukraine in the months before the hostilities between Moscow and Kiev began in February 2022, outgoing US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has admitted.

The top diplomat made the remarks while speaking on the New York Times' 'The Interview' podcast, aired on Saturday. The US saw the conflict between Russia and Ukraine "coming" and wanted to get Kiev "prepared" for it, according to Blinken.
"Starting in September and then again in December, we quietly got a lot of weapons to Ukraine to make sure that they had in hand what they needed to defend themselves - things like Stingers, Javelins that they could use. They proved 'instrumental' in preventing Russia from taking Kiev, as well as rolling over the country, erasing it from the map."
The intentions ascribed to Moscow by the top US diplomat, however, sharply contrast with the goals of the military operation repeatedly articulated by Russia's leadership. The original aims included demilitarization and denazification of the country, as well as Kiev accepting a neutral status and abandoning its aspirations to join NATO.

Comment: Blinken proves it has always been the puppet master's war.

The outgoing president has awarded the US top civilian honor to 19 prominent individuals.

US President Joe Biden has named 19 recipients of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, America's top civilian award, including former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and liberal billionaire financier George Soros.

The ceremony to present the awards was held at the White House on Saturday. This honor is given to individuals who have made "exemplary contributions to the prosperity, values, or security of the United States, world peace, or other significant societal, public or private endeavors," according to a statement from the White House.

Soros was recognized for his efforts to "strengthen democracy, human rights, education, and social justice" through his Open Society Foundations, as well as "partners and projects in more than 120 countries." The 94-year-old billionaire did not attend the ceremony, with his son Alex Soros, accepting the award on his behalf.

Comment: To sum up: Awards went to Sports, Hollywood and a couple Masters of Deception.

The Head of the Snake? - British journalism, snake pits and Israel

With just two weeks to go until Trump's inauguration, some analysts — even a few who are well known and respected — are talking up the possibility of an Israeli American strike on Iran to "cut off the head of the snake".

I'm not sure whether that's Iran's head - or Trump's.

The idea seems to be circulating in the British media - which is, of course, a snake pit.

British journalists hiss a lot. And slither.

Those who believe this nonsense rationalize that the Israelis have been bombing Syria's air defense systems so that they can launch a large fleet of aircraft towards Iran undetected, which shows how good educations are wasted on bad minds.

Why an attack now you ask?

Hiss and slither....

In January 17, the president of Iran, Masoud Pezeshkian, will visit Moscow to sign a comprehensive mutual cooperation agreement, which of course includes security cooperation. Within a year, with even more Russian help, Iran will be in an even stronger position to defend itself. And Oreshnik has shown that you don't need nuclear weapons to do that.

Fortresses fell and fronts shifted in a transformative year in the conflict

As the third year of the Russia-Ukraine conflict draws to a close, the trajectory of the fighting has shifted decisively. At the start of 2024, Kiev and its Western sponsors aimed to stay on the defensive, hoping to exhaust Moscow's forces and create a stalemate. Ukraine's goal was to prove it could still mount resistance, while Russia focused on systematically degrading its opponent's military capabilities and infrastructure. The year as a whole, however, brought significant developments on the battlefield that highlight the changing dynamics of the conflict.

Here, we detail four key episodes from 2024 that shaped the war's course.

SOTT Focus: The Abandonment of Our Children: How The Pakistani Child-Rape Gangs Were Protected by The British Government

grooming gangs pakistanis
Safeguarding minister Jess Phillips' decision to block a public inquiry into the Oldham grooming gangs seems, from the outside, to be almost inexplicable. Children were raped and abused by gangs of men while the authorities failed to protect them.

A review of the abuse in Oldham was released in 2022, but its terms of reference only stretched from 2011-2014. Survivors from the town said that they wanted a government-led inquiry to cover a longer period, and catch what the previous review had missed. In Jess Phillips's letter to the council, revealed by GB News, she said she understood the strength of feeling in the town, but thought it best for another local review to take place.

This is a scandal that should be rooted out entirely, and investigated by the full might of the British state. Voices ranging from Elon Musk to Kemi Badenoch have joined the calls for an inquiry. Yet the Government seems curiously reluctant to dig into the failings of officials.

This reluctance is not new. Across the country, in towns and in cities, on our streets and in the state institutions designed to protect the most vulnerable members of our society, authorities deliberately turned a blind eye to horrific abuse of largely white children by gangs of men predominantly of Pakistani heritage.
