Former Canada finance minister Freeland running to replace Trudeau

The article from Reuters discusses the political landscape in Canada, focusing on the potential leadership transition within the Liberal Party. It reports that Chrystia Freeland, Canada's current Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister, has expressed her intention to run for the leadership of the Liberal Party if Prime Minister Justin Trudeau steps down before the next election, which is due by October 2025. Freeland, who has been a key figure in Trudeau's cabinet, particularly during economic crises like the global health crisis, is seen as a likely successor. The article also touches on Trudeau's declining popularity, with recent polls showing the Conservative Party leading, which might influence Trudeau's decision on whether to continue leading the party into the next election. This potential change comes at a time when the Liberals are facing challenges in regaining voter support.
