Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Monday he is stepping down as leader of Canada's Liberal Party, following rising discontent over his leadership and growing dissent within his government. Trudeau had served as Canada's prime minister since 2015. His resignation comes as U.S. President-elect Donald Trump is threatening to annex Canada. For more, we speak with Canadian activist and electoral candidate Avi Lewis for the New Democratic Party, who says that, "like Joe Biden," Trudeau "waited way too long" to step down from candidacy in upcoming national elections. Lewis calls Trump's aggressive rhetoric on Canada a "cartoon threat" that comes out of the real estate mogul's long-running use of "force" in his personal and business dealings.

Russian missile and drone attacks are continuing across Ukraine as the country already faces a cold, dark winter after Russia's strikes destroyed about half of the country's energy infrastructure. This comes as Russia and Ukraine completed a prisoner swap, repatriating more than 300 prisoners of war in a deal brokered by the United Arab Emirates ahead of the new year. The Biden administration, meanwhile, has approved billions more in military and economic assistance to Ukraine before President-elect Donald Trump returns to office with a pledge to curtail aid and end the war. Since Russia's invasion nearly three years ago, Congress has approved $175 billion in total assistance to Ukraine. "Putin doesn't want peace," says Oleksandra Matviichuk, a leading Ukrainian human rights lawyer, who says Russia's goal is to restore its empire by force. "Russian occupation means torture, rapes, enforced disappearances, denial of your own identity, forcible adoption of your children, filtration camps and mass graves," she says.
