Ottawa, Canada – In a surprising turn of events, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced his resignation after nearly a decade in power. The announcement, made on January 6, 2025, comes in the wake of growing discontent over his leadership and internal turmoil within his government.

Trudeau's decision to step down follows months of pressure from within his own Liberal Party and declining public approval ratings. The resignation of his finance minister on December 16, 2024, further signaled the growing unrest within his administration. Trudeau cited "internal battles" as a key reason for his resignation, stating that he could no longer be the best option for the next election.

Trudeau will remain in office until a new leader of the Liberal Party is chosen. The Canadian Parliament will be suspended until March 24, 2025, to allow time for the party to select a new leader. This suspension aims to provide a smooth transition and ensure stability during the leadership change.

The resignation has elicited mixed reactions from political leaders and the public. The opposition New Democratic Party (NDP) has expressed its intention to vote against the government in the next confidence vote, regardless of who the new Liberal leader is. NDP leader Jagmeet Singh stated that the Liberal Party has let Canadians down and does not deserve another chance.

Justin Trudeau, the son of former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, was initially hailed for returning Canada to its liberal roots when he was elected in 2015. However, his tenure has been marked by controversies and declining popularity in recent y

Apple has agreed to pay $95 million to settle a class-action lawsuit alleging that its virtual assistant, Siri, recorded private conversations without users' consent. The settlement, approved by a federal court in Oakland, brings an end to a five-year legal battle over claims that Siri was unintentionally activated and recorded private discussions on iPhones and other Apple devices.

The lawsuit, filed in 2019, accused Apple of violating users' privacy by recording conversations without their knowledge. The allegations surfaced after reports emerged that contractors hired by Apple to review Siri's responses heard recordings that included sensitive information such as medical details and personal conversations. Apple apologized for the privacy breaches and stated that it would no longer retain recordings of users' exchanges with Siri.

Although Apple denies any wrongdoing, the proposed settlement requires the company to confirm that it has permanently deleted Siri audio recordings collected before October 2019. Additionally, Apple must publish a webpage explaining how users can opt-in to improve Siri and what information is collected. Eligible users, who owned Siri-enabled devices between September 17, 2014, and December 31, 2024, can file claims for compensation. Each user could receive up to $20 per device, with a cap of five devices per person.

The settlement highlights the ongoing tension between tech companies' innovation and their responsibility to safeguard user privacy. While Apple maintains its stance as a leader in protecting user data, the lawsuit and its resolution underscore the importance of transparency in tech practices. This case follows similar actions in the

The Ghana Water Limited (GWL) has announced the temporary shutdown of the Bonsa Headworks, a critical water production facility that supplies potable water to Tarkwa and its surrounding areas. The decision, made on January 2, 2025, comes in response to severe pollution of the Bonsa River caused by illegal mining (galamsey) activities.

Galamsey operations have significantly compromised the quality of the Bonsa River, making it impossible for the facility to extract water for treatment and supply. GWL's statement highlighted that despite their best efforts to mitigate the damage and restore water extraction capabilities, all attempts have been unsuccessful. The Bonsa Headworks, which supplies 75% of the potable water to Tarkwa and its environs, will remain closed until the river quality improves and necessary measures are implemented to ensure safe production.

The shutdown has reignited public concern over the devastating impact of galamsey on the country's water resources. Many are calling on the government to take urgent and decisive action against illegal mining operations to prevent further damage to water bodies and avoid more water supply disruptions. The situation underscores the critical consequences of illegal mining on vital resources and the need for comprehensive measures to address the issue.
