Summary
Canada’s Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland resigned amid rising tensions with PM Justin Trudeau over Donald Trump’s proposed 25% tariffs on Canadian goods.
Freeland criticized Trudeau’s economic approach, warning of a “grave challenge” and advocating fiscal prudence to prepare for a “coming tariff war.”
Her departure leaves Trudeau politically vulnerable as his popularity wanes, with Liberal MPs and opposition leaders calling for his resignation.
Freeland, a key figure in Canada-U.S. trade relations, is seen as a potential replacement for Trudeau in the next election.
That fits my first impression perfectly, which I commented earlier.
From this show of personality, she is not the kind of person I’d personally vote for.
Seems like she chooses to sabotage a working relation, and use that as a platform to show off for her personal benefit.
