If….if Chrystia Freeland says that she’s gonna run again in the next federal election for her riding…anyone competing against her should have these few videos bookmarked for their election campaign.

A day that rattled Canadian politics ended the exact same way Chrystia Freeland spent a defining chapter of her political career: Getting trash-talked by Donald Trump.
That blast from Freeland's past came in a social media post from Trump late Monday, in a comment on her departure from Canada's federal cabinet.
An unfriendly farewell message from Donald Trump, the U.S. president-elect, rekindled memories of how Freeland spent a key chapter of her career in the federal cabinet, where U.S. affairs were central to her tenure.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, took great glee in noting that the government’s own order of precedence named Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne as next in line to be finance minister, “but he didn’t know about it or want it,” in which case the job should have passed to Randy Boissonnault,
had he not been forced to resign from cabinet last month, after making shifting claims about being Indigenous.
In the event, Trudeau turned to his Man Friday, Dominic LeBlanc, as he always does when he is in a jam. LeBlanc was sworn in as finance minister at 4 p.m. Ottawa time,
allowing the government to table its fiscal update.
It all rather suggests that Trudeau’s unrequited love affair with Mark Carney might now be over. Surely not even the prime minister can contemplate another trip to Rideau Hall with another finance minister?
The fiscal update was meant to be the focus of the day, but it has become a $61,900,000,000.00 footnote.
