After nearly a decade in power, the reign of Canada’s far-left Prime MInister Justin Trudeau may finally be coming to an attend.
According to sources who spoke with CTV, Trudeau is currently “considering his options” after the shock resignation of his Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland.
In a public resignation letter, Freeland said that Canada faces a “grave challenge” from the incoming Trump administration, which she described as “pursuing a policy of aggressive economic nationalism, including a threat of 25 per cent tariffs.”
The letter read:
We need to take that threat extremely seriously. That means keeping our fiscal powder dry today, so we have the reserves we may need for a coming tariff war. That means eschewing costly political gimmicks, which we can ill afford and which make Canadians doubt that we recognize the gravity of the moment.
That means pushing back against ‘America First’ economic nationalism with a determined effort to fight for capital and investment and the jobs they bring. That means working in good faith and humility with the Premiers of the provinces and territories of our great and diverse country, and building a true Team Canada response.
I know Canadians would recognize and respect such an approach. They know when we are working for them, and they equally know when we are focused on ourselves. Inevitably, our time in government will come to an end. But how we deal with the threat our country currently faces will define us for a generation, and perhaps longer. Canada will win if we are strong, smart, and united.
It is this conviction which has driven my strenuous efforts this fall to manage our spending in ways that will give us the flexibility we will need to meet the serious challenges presented by the United States.

Well...bye.
If they were smart...
As one of our largest trading partners and would massively benefit from a strong American economy these ankle biters would rather cry and clutch theor pearls at Trump messing up their green dreams. How did we end up with these scumbag countries to our north and south?
What it is when a nation puts an incompetent posturing child in charge.
BTTT
What a beautiful uplifting letter that truly shows how committed they are to putting Canadians first and outlining their plan to “save Canada” from America, the big bad wolf. And then she quits. Hilarious!
Trump “broke” him!
He wants to spend more time with the family he has in Cuba.
Will he retire to Cuba to be among family?
Great minds think alike.
Skeptical here. I doubt he will leave without being voted out.
I doubt he’ll leave if voted out. Tyrants and their sons are like that!
Why would some lady having a hissy fit cause him to leave, when he’s done so many other actually onerous things and has been fine?
“Fascist Fat-Legs” Freeland quit? That’s a shame.
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out , Oh wait ,LOL
Your post triggered my memory of her. Before that the news was just sort of washing over me. She’s the fascist b***h who was all in on freezing or seizing folks financial assets, in particular the truckers. Can’t say I’ll miss the wretch and I hope she takes Castro Jr with her
