Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau announces resignation! Polymarket has already opened hotly, and Trump sarcastically says: The merger of the US and Canada is like a family.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau held a press conference on 1/6, officially announcing his resignation as prime minister and stepping down as leader of the Liberal Party. And of course, the widely discussed on-chain prediction market platform Polymarket didn't miss this great betting opportunity, as many bettors had already predicted his resignation before Trudeau's announcement on 1/6.

Durudao announced his resignation, and the Minister of Finance resigned, which became the last straw for Trump's tax policy.

Justin Trudeau announced at a press conference that he will resign as leader of the Liberal Party and step down as Prime Minister after the new successor is elected. Recently, with some members of parliament calling for his resignation, rumors about his possible resignation have been escalating. Trudeau also admitted that internal conflicts have prevented him from being the most suitable leader in the next election.

Jim Flaherty's resignation decision occurred less than a month after Finance Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland announced her resignation. Freeland said she had differences with Flaherty in responding to the threat of U.S. President-elect Trump's tariffs on Canada. It is believed that this series of political events has put a lot of pressure on Flaherty and become one of the key factors in his decision to resign.

After learning of Trudeau's resignation, President-elect Donald Trump immediately posted on his own social platform TruthSocial, saying, "Many Canadians aspire to become the 51st state of the United States, and we can no longer bear the huge trade deficit and subsidies between the United States and Canada."

Trump hinted that Canada needs to rely on economic aid from the United States to maintain its operation, and Trudeau resigned because he knew that Canada's economic situation was poor and unable to solve these problems. 'The merger of the United States and Canada can form a great nation that can jointly resist threats from Russia and China,' Trump emphasized.

Previously, Doug Ford's handling of the truck driver protest in 2022 sparked dissatisfaction in the local cryptocurrency community. At that time, protesters were unhappy with the blockade of Ottawa streets due to COVID-19 prevention policies and protested. Doug Ford immediately activated the Emergency Act and froze the protesters' bank accounts, as well as monitored "large or suspicious transactions," including the flow of funds through cryptocurrencies. This move has sparked a lot of criticism, with many critics believing that the policy is too hard and has infringed on civil liberties.

Durudao's resignation was predicted early by Polymarket, and the related betting market is hotly opened.

Even before the Durudao press conference, the on-chain gaming platform Polymarket had already heated up the betting market about his resignation, with many gamblers betting that the probability of him announcing his resignation on 1/6 is close to 80%.
