Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland has been fired from her role as Finance Minister, announced she’s resigning from cabinet — and she’s taking shots at Justin Trudeau on her way out.

Minister Freeland released her resignation statement Monday morning, claiming that she will step down from cabinet after being offered a demotion by the Prime Minister that would have kept her in it. 

“On Friday, you told me you no longer want me to serve as your Finance Minister and offered me another position in the Cabinet. Upon reflection, I have concluded that the only honest and viable path is for me to resign from the Cabinet,” she stated.

The Finance Minister who will be remembered for laughing while announcing that she was freezing Canadian protesters’ bank accounts who were involved in the Freedom Convoy, claimed Trudeau was guilty of “political gimmicks” over sound policy, a reference to the $250 rebates the Prime Minister announced that working Canadians would receive some time in the spring of 2025, despite blowing past their $40 billion deficit “guardrail” the Liberals promised.

“For the past number of weeks, you and I have found ourselves at odds about the best path forward for Canada,” she wrote to Trudeau in her open letter.

Freeland said she will run again as a Liberal MP in the next election. This likely signals that she hopes Prime Minister Trudeau steps down before the election so that she can run for the leadership position.

“I look forward to continuing to work with my colleagues as a Liberal Member of Parliament, and I am committed to running again for my seat in Toronto in the next federal election.”

Freeland was first elected as a Liberal Member of Parliament in a by-election on November 25, 2013, for the riding of Toronto Centre. She was subsequently re-elected in the 2015 federal election for the newly created riding of University-Rosedale.

In 2020, she was assigned to the role of Finance Minister by Trudeau after Bill Morneau stepped down, who also cited differences in vision and approach to economic policy, particularly regarding COVID-19 pandemic aid.

Like Freeland, Morneau said he felt that Trudeau and his advisors favoured “scoring political points” over reasonable policy.

Good. Bloody. Riddance. But if Freeload thinks Trudeau’s policies are bad, just imagine how bad they must be.

She’s still collecting a big fat paycheck. She worked with Justin to destroy the country.
