Canada is witnessing the end of an era. Justin Trudeau announced his intention to resign as prime minister and leader of the Liberal Party as soon as the party selects a new leader. He also announced that Parliament will be prorogued until March 24, meaning Parliament cannot pass laws, debate, or hold committee meetings. Most importantly, it cannot hold no-confidence votes.

The Liberal Party must now decide on the rules for the leadership race. It will be a tight window to find the next leader and organize an election that will probably be called as soon as Parliament resumes. Expect an election in April.

Who will replace Trudeau as Liberal Party leader? There are some contenders: Chrystia Freeland (former finance minister), Mark Carney (former head of the Bank of Canada and Bank of England), François-Philippe Champagne (minister of science and innovation) and Dominic LeBlanc (current finance minister). But the next leader will face oblivion at the ballot box.

After about 10 years as prime minister, the age of Justin Trudeau is about to end. Most of the nation is thinking, Good riddance. It is Canada’s first ray of hope since the Freedom Convoy. But the country has sustained irreparable damage.

Under Trudeau, Canada was suffering bitter affliction: rampant inflation, rising poverty, increasing violent crime, a housing crisis, an immigration crisis, rampant drug use, a failing military, shattered global reputation, a $62 billion deficit, and diminished freedoms. It seemed nothing would stop this national free fall.

For a decade, Trudeau was invincible. His government caused scandal after scandal, yet he was never held to account. During the covid-19 pandemic, Trudeau ruled as a monarch. The Freedom Convoy was the largest grassroots protest in history, and Trudeau crushed it with an authoritarian fist.

The country became a laughingstock.

Now the tide is turning. In the past year, the direction of Canadian politics has changed dramatically, although Trudeau is still not being held accountable by the Canadian electorate. Another force is behind Trudeau’s removal from power. His resignation is tied to earthshaking Bible prophecies.

One of the most important trends of 2024 was the sudden decline of the radical left in North America. Joe Biden and Justin Trudeau followed a parallel course. Their political decline began within days of each other: Trudeau lost the June 24 by-election in the traditional Liberal stronghold of St. Paul’s in Toronto, and Biden’s disastrous debate took place on June 27. Why this connection?

Both were puppets of Barack Obama, relying on his help to gain and maintain power. Their regimes parroted each other’s policies and worked in tandem. As Trumpet editor in chief Gerald Flurry explains in America Under Attack, Obama embodies the Communist movement to blot out the name of Israel—the United States and the British Commonwealth. (Read The United States and Britain in Prophecy for proof.)

The first significant turning point was when God began to silence Obama. Mr. Flurry wrote in the September 2024 Trumpet:

Barack Obama’s power is diminishing before our eyes. …

Obama is being silenced. He has not yet been silenced, but these verses (Amos 7:7-8, which flow from verses 1-6) show that in the end, he will be totally silenced! … He set out to blot out the name of Israel, and now God is giving him a taste of his own evil: God is blotting out his power and silencing him. … We will see this even more plainly in the time ahead.

Trudeau’s fate is tied to Obama’s. The collapse of Biden’s and then Kamala Harris’s campaign was a harbinger.

Following the June 24 by-election loss, look how Trudeau lost his grip on power:

• September: Liberal stronghold of LaSalle-Émard-Verdun (Montreal) by-election is lost. New Democratic Party leader Jagmeet Singh ends Supply and Confidence Agreement protecting Trudeau’s government from a no-confidence vote.
• October: Two dozen Liberal caucus members revolt and send Trudeau a letter requesting his resignation.
• November: President-elect Donald Trump threatens 25 percent tariffs on Canadian trade.
• December: Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland resigns from cabinet. Atlantic and Quebec caucuses call for Trudeau’s resignation.

The major blow Trudeau could not survive was the return of Donald Trump, whose political resurrection fulfills prophecies in Amos 7 and 2 Kings 14 (explained in America Under Attack). Trump’s tariff threats exposed Trudeau’s weakness. His humiliating social media posts collapsed any confidence Trudeau’s supporters had in his leadership. In the end, it was Donald Trump who brought down Justin Trudeau, not Canadians.

This is miraculous. God intervened to break the iron grip Trudeau had on Canada. Nothing Canadians could do would dislodge him. Trudeau is not a regular prime minister; he is a tyrant, a despot and a traitor. But he is positioning himself to depart his self-made throne without having to face a reckoning.

Trudeau resigned on his terms and gave himself three months to govern Canada with no parliamentary oversight. Will he hide evidence of high crimes? Will he try to entrench his Communist-progressive agenda in the civil service? Hopefully the truth will be exposed.

Trudeau’s imminent departure is a historic moment. It marks the possible end of the Communist infiltration that has afflicted Canada for generations, starting with the election of Pierre Trudeau in 1968. Of the past 57 years, Canada has been governed by the Trudeau family for 25 of them. It has been fundamentally transformed.

Why did God miraculously push Justin Trudeau from office? This moment is a golden opportunity to affect real change in the country. It is not change that comes from political policy, elections or the departure of a tyrant. The change Canada needs is individual repentance.

It is easy to blame Trudeau for Canada’s problems, and he certainly deserves accountability for what he has done. But the problem is much deeper. The worst tyrant in Canada is not Trudeau, but our own sins. Notice God’s appraisal of Canada today in Isaiah 1:4-6:

Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward. Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.

That is a tough message to accept, but Trudeau’s departure is an opportunity to honestly appraise our own lives. We need to look for the tyrant of sin. Just as God removed Trudeau, He can remove sin from our lives. As the Trudeau era ends, we can begin a new age of repentance and faith.
