President-elect Donald J. Trump has slammed Canada’s former Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister, Chrystia Freeland, following her resignation, describing the globalist’s conduct as “totally toxic.” Trump made the comments on his social media platform Truth Social. “Her behavior was totally toxic and not at all conducive to making deals that are good for the very unhappy citizens of Canada. She will not be missed!!!” Trump said.
Freeland resigned after Trump proposed imposing a 25 percent tariff on Canadian goods entering the United States. Trump is demanding that Canada secure its border to avoid the tariffs.
Canada remains one of the United States’ largest export markets. Any increased tariffs would likely have significant repercussions for the Canadian economy.
Freeland resigned mere hours before the anticipated announcement of Canada’s Fall fiscal report. This confirmed a deficit of nearly $62 billion CAD. In her resignation letter, Freeland expressed disagreement with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over handling the tariff threat, emphasizing the need for a strategic, resource-conscious approach. She slammed Trudeau for “costly political gimmicks” and called for the tariff threat to be taken seriously.
After her resignation, Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc was appointed her successor. LeBlanc, a longtime ally of Trudeau, assumes his role amid internal political turmoil and public dissatisfaction.
Some Members of Parliament (MPs) for Trudeau’s Liberal Party have joined opposition leaders in calling for Trudeau’s resignation, urging an immediate election. Polling shows the Liberals would decisively lose a snap election to the Conservative Party (CPC). Trudeau also risks not being re-elected in his parliamentary seat.
