OTTAWA - Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appointed his close ally and deputy Chrystia Freeland as the country’s new finance minister on Tuesday amid plans to outline a revamped agenda and pandemic recovery plan.
The appointment comes after a tumultuous week for the government that ended in Morneau’s departure. Sources told Reuters that Morneau and Trudeau had clashed over pandemic spending, including on green initiatives the prime minister views as key for the economy. Freeland now will be tasked with reviving an economy crippled by the COVID-19 pandemic, with the budget deficit this fiscal year forecast to hit C$343.2 billion . That would be the largest shortfall since World War Two.
She is a very bright lady but she does not have and expertise in finances. Why then has she been appointed to this position? Surely there is a person in this country that has expertise that could fill this appointment. No wonder governments are so ineffective
I enjoy an article praising Freeland for her work with NAFTA when USMCA has been ratified by 2 nations.. canada not being one of them. Hell its 2020 we give praise and credit even when you fail at your job. Now we have a finance minister who holds a degree in journalism 🤣😂
It was free land...now it’s official freeland Free lending billions $ Why it’s not loan but freebies to billion $ companies sitting on millions of profits
uh....... okay then.............
Look for some money to disappear.
