In a significant political upheaval, Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland has resigned, citing irreconcilable differences with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau regarding the government’s response to incoming U.S. tariffs under President-elect Donald Trump. Freeland’s resignation comes just hours before she was scheduled to present a crucial economic update to Parliament, which was expected to reveal a larger-than-anticipated budget deficit.
Freeland’s resignation letter highlighted her concerns about the direction Trudeau is taking, particularly in light of Trump’s threat to impose a 25% tariff on Canadian imports. She warned that Canada must take this threat seriously and criticized what she termed "costly political gimmicks" that could undermine public confidence in the government’s ability to handle the economic challenges ahead.
