Canadian PM JustinTrudeau announced today (Jan 6) that he will step down after 9 years in office but will stay on in his post until the party chooses a replacement.
That means Justin Trudeau will still be prime minister on Jan. 20 when US President-elect DonaldTrump takes office.
Trump has threatened to impose tariffs that would cripple Canada's economy.
Trudeau, 53, took office in November 2015 and won reelection twice, becoming one of Canada's longest-serving prime ministers.
But his popularity started dipping two years ago amid public anger over high prices and a housing shortage, and his fortunes never recovered.

Assam coal mine:
About a week since nine miners were trapped in a flooded rat-hole coal mine in Assam’s Dima Hasao district, rescue workers retrieved bodies of four miners on Saturday. The other five miners are still missing.
Disasters in coal mines across the northeast, mostly of the hazardous RAT HOLE kind, are frequent.
What is rat hole mining?
It is an illegal and highly hazardous method of extracting coal prevalent in certain pockets of India.
This practice involves digging narrow, horizontal tunnels barely large enough for a single person to squeeze through.
These tunnels, often referred to as "rat holes," can extend tens of meters underground.

Front Running:
Front running is an unethical trading practice where a broker or trader uses advance knowledge of pending large orders of clients to trade ahead of them for personal profit. They execute personal trades before processing clients’ orders, taking advantage of expected price.
Front-running is commonly confused with insider trading, but they are distinct. Insider trading refers to a company insider who trades on advanced knowledge of corporate activities—for example, using their insider knowledge to buy or sell shares ahead of a major announcement.

Kerala’s martial art form Kalaripayattu has become a bone of contention ahead of the 38th edition of the National Games which is scheduled to commence from January 28 in Uttarakhand.
The Indian Kalaripayattu Federation has accused the Indian Olympics Association (IOA) of “relegating” the martial art to the demonstration section of the event.
In the 37th edition of the National Games, which was held in Goa in 2023, Kalaripayattu was part of the competition section. This year, the art form has been included in the list of events for demonstration, dampening the medal hopes of around 200 Kalaripayattu athletes from 18 states who were planning to participate in the competition.
The Delhi HC had on January 15 ordered that “a suitable decision shall be taken for reinstating Kalaripayattu as a competitive sport in the 38th National Games”. The court’s order was based on a writ petition filed by a Kalaripayattu student Harshita Yadav.
