The political landscape in Canada is currently experiencing significant upheaval, with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau facing mounting pressure to resign or prorogue Parliament. This development comes in the wake of the unexpected resignation of Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, one of Trudeau’s most powerful and loyal ministers.
On December 16, 2024, Chrystia Freeland announced her resignation from the Cabinet, citing irreconcilable differences with Trudeau over the best path forward for Canada. Freeland’s departure has sent shockwaves through the political establishment and raised questions about Trudeau’s ability to continue leading the Liberal Party and the country.
Freeland’s resignation letter highlighted several key disagreements with Trudeau, including the handling of economic policies and the response to the incoming U.S. administration’s aggressive economic nationalism. Freeland opposed Trudeau’s recent announcement of a two-month sales tax holiday and $250 Canadian checks to citizens, arguing that these measures were costly political gimmicks that Canada could ill afford in the face of potential U.S. tariffs.
