Germany's Government Falls "Without Suspense, Without Surprise;"

Another globalist domino falls.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz loses no-confidence vote, election called for early next year

Germany's center-right party leading polls by 10 points

The German parliament accepted Chancellor Olaf Scholz's invitation to withdraw its confidence in him and his government on Monday, clearing the way for an early election on Feb. 23 necessitated by the collapse of his government.

Scholz's three-party coalition fell apart last month after the pro-market Free Democrats quit in a row over debt, leaving his Social Democrats and the Greens without a parliamentary majority just as Germany faces a deepening economic crisis.

Under rules designed to prevent the instability that facilitated the rise of fascism in the 1930s, President Frank-Walter Steinmeier can only dissolve parliament and call an election if the chancellor calls, and loses, a confidence vote.

The debate preceding the vote also opened serious campaigning for the election, with party leaders trading ill-tempered barbs.

The chancellor and his conservative challenger, Friedrich Merz, who surveys suggest is likely to replace him, charged each other with incompetence and lack of vision.

Scholz, who will head a caretaker government until a new one can be formed, defended his record as a crisis leader who had dealt with the economic and security emergency triggered by Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

If given a second term, he said, he would invest heavily in Germany's creaking infrastructure rather than making the spending cuts he said the conservatives wanted.

"Shortsightedness might save money in the short term, but the mortgage on our future is unaffordable," said Scholz, who served four years as finance minister under a previous coalition with the conservatives before becoming chancellor in 2021.

Merz told Scholz his spending plans would burden future generations and accused him of failing to deliver on promises of rearmament after the start of the Ukraine war.

"Taking on debt at the cost of the young generation, spending money - and you didn't say the word 'competitiveness' once," said Merz.

In the Nazi Communist Dictatorship of Canada, Pierre Castreau is fighting to cling to power, and his Liberal Party is scheming to get him to step down in favor of another Liberal politician. That would keep the Liberal Party in control, despite widespread public discontent and even revulsion at Castreau's failing dictatorship.

BBC:

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government has been thrown into fresh disarray with the abrupt departure of his finance minister, Chrystia Freeland.

By the end of a frenetic Monday, a new finance minister was in place, but Trudeau was facing calls from members of his own Liberal Party to quit.

Without directly referring to the news, the prime minister told party donors at an event in Ottawa: "It's obviously been an eventful day. It has not been an easy day."

In her scathing resignation letter - published on the day she was due to deliver an economic statement - Freeland cited disagreements with her long-time ally on how to respond to the threat of tariffs from Donald Trump.

The US president-elect, who will return to the White House in January, has vowed to impose a levy of 25% on imported Canadian goods unless the shared border is made more secure.

Economists say the tariffs could have a devastating effect on Canada's economy.

In her letter, Freeland accused Trudeau of choosing "costly political gimmicks" over addressing the threat posed by Trump's "aggressive economic nationalism".

Trump himself later responded to Freeland, posting that her "behaviour was totally toxic, and not at all conducive to making deals which are good for the very unhappy citizens of Canada".

Freeland said her decision came after Trudeau told her last week that he no longer wanted her to be the government's top economic adviser.

Her departure blindsided the government, leaving the fate of the scheduled economic update in the air for hours and bringing Trudeau and his shaky minority Liberals to the brink.

In a further blow, the Liberals lost control of the Cloverdale-Langley City seat in British Columbia, after a by-election win for rival Conservatives. It was the Liberals' third by-election defeat of the year.

Freeland's sudden exit as finance minister earlier in the day "just makes Canada look quite confused and uncertain", Chris Sands, director of the Wilson Center's Canada Institute, told the BBC.

"Trudeau finds himself a little bit alone, not super close to any of his ministers, with the big, talented ones mostly now having left," he added.

Mr Sands said Trump's win in November's US presidential election has caused a split among US allies, including Canada.

"Do you respond to Trump by pushing back and standing firm, or do you respond by trying to find a way to avoid conflict?" he said.

...

Many politicians remember the challenges they faced during Trump's first term in office, he added.

"He hasn't been inaugurated yet, but people are already reacting as though he was the president and taking serious measures."

Trump's bringing Regime Change to hostile dictatorships without firing a shot.
