  • Canada's Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland resigned on Monday after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau asked her to take a lesser cabinet position, bringing more uncertainty to an already unpopular government.

Chrystia Freeland has been a pivotal figure in Justin Trudeau's Liberal government since 2015, serving in various high-profile roles. Initially appointed as Minister of International Trade, she was instrumental in negotiating the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA). In 2017, she became Foreign Affairs Minister, where she managed Canada's foreign policy, including relations with China and the U.S. during the NAFTA renegotiations. Following the 2019 election, Freeland was appointed Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, focusing on national unity and federal-provincial relations. After Bill Morneau's resignation in 2020, she took on the role of Finance Minister, navigating the economic challenges posed by the global health crisis, including implementing significant financial aid packages. Her diverse portfolio reflects her broad expertise in economics, international relations, and domestic policy, making her a central figure in Trudeau's administration.
