Welcome to Leadership Now with Dr. Aaron Rock, hosted on Beachhead Media and other podcasting platforms.

Aaron has served as a pastor, chaplain, denominational leader, professor, writer, and has a desire to help others think Christianly about all of life.

On this show, we discussed the nuts and bolts of theology, church life, ethics,

apologetics, culture, politics, and other issues to help you lead better now.

So, having completed our five-part series on Khyperian political thought, we thought it would be beneficial to do just a one-off show talking about some of the current political issues that Canadians are facing.

Some of the things that we've been hearing people talk about, some of the things that have been coming up in the news, it's obviously been a bit of a chaotic month or two in Canadian politics. And these issues definitely have a lot of relevance to the United States as well. So, Aaron, here are some of the things that would fit that criteria. First of all, Trudeau's intention to resign, obviously made pretty big news recently.

That then, again, brings up the age-old question in Christian circles of who do we vote for,

how do we vote as Christians. Then we also have the threat of annexation and tariffs coming up

with the Trump administration coming into power soon.

And then also the possible replacement for Trudeau, the new leader of the liberal party,

how that's all going to work out.

So let's just start off with the first question.

Why exactly did Trudeau resign and how is the aftermath of all of this going to play out with with an election and with a new government?

Right. Well, thanks, Jesse. Yeah, these are relevant conversations that we need to have and people have asked us.

Listeners have asked us. People in our own circles have asked us about these things.

Fundamentally, Justin Trudeau resigned best uh, best as we can tell, because he was

pressured to by his party.

Uh, the polls didn't seem to sway him for months.

He was lagging in the polls.

And lagging is a gracious term.

Yeah.

That didn't cause him to resign.
