Well, at least she's not in government anymore. I suspect the fact she can speak Ukrainian has something to do with it. Don't know if its good or bad. I suspect nothing of import will result in this appointment.
She will remain an MP for the time being…
In order to have Carney distance himself from Trudeau, & in this case Mini-Trudeau, I wonder what the salary of this position they just made up for Freeland is (?) & this will fit into her government pension that I’m sure ties into her best couple of years, pay? I’m pretty sure she’s not taking a pay cut in order for Carney to remove her from His Cabinet and association with his current version of the Liberal Party….

Next thing your going to hear is someone say Carney is doing not that bad of a job. Night and day from our time with Justin who is now out showing his true colours.

Very good chance Liberals would get their majority if we go to the polls IMO and wonder which riding Mr Poilievre would look to get a seat after that.

Good grief, I certainly hope not. He's all talk & no action thus far & if Canadians figure that's "doing a good job" then we're doomed for sure!!

Sad to say but Canadian voters are easily swayed.
Agree 100% If Canadians get pissed off by a Conservative-initiated election, the Liberals could end up with a majority, then we are totally fucked for four years, and they answer to no one. Sadly, the best path forward is to wait for the casualty numbers in the job world to continue piling up. There will be blood.

Canada is on a certain path to implosion , I almost wish I could be alive to see it .we no longer make any sense as a country with no national identity . Sad how we are throwing away the legacy our fore fathers I trusted us with .

The 2015 ceremony was like a carnival: cheering crowds were invited to hail each new arrival as if they were Taylor Swift. Trudeau’s statement on why he had balanced men and women in his cabinet — “Because it’s 2015” — was his most memorable, carefully crafted but apparently impromptu line.
Prime Minister Mark Carney, backing away from a key international priority of his Liberal predecessors, says his government does not have a feminist foreign policy.

Cabinet ministers under former prime minister Justin Trudeau announced in 2017 that their government had a feminist foreign policy, and they continued to refer to the policy for years after. Their support deepened further in 2020 when the government promised to draft a full document to define the policy.

But despite years of backroom discussions by federal officials, no document was ever published. And now Mr. Carney is distancing himself from the concept.

Issues such as gender equality and reducing gender-based violence are an “aspect” of his government’s foreign policy, he told a press conference in Johannesburg on Sunday. “But I wouldn’t describe our foreign policy as feminist foreign policy,” he said.

His statement is in sharp contrast to many years of rhetoric from Mr. Trudeau’s foreign affairs ministers, including Chrystia Freeland and François-Philippe Champagne, who spoke often of Canada’s feminist policies on international issues.

“Canada is proud to have a feminist foreign policy, not because it looks good, but because it produces tangible and measurable results,” Mr. Champagne said in a speech in February, 2020.

In one key element of the policy, the Trudeau government introduced a feminist foreign-aid strategy in 2017, promising that at least 95 per cent of Canada’s bilateral foreign aid projects would include the goals of gender equality and empowerment of women and girls.

Mr. Carney, however, has placed less emphasis on feminist policies.
