Deputy Prime Minister Freeland to replace Bill Morneau as Finance Minister

At a late news conference in Ottawa, Mr. Morneau said he was not pushed to step away from his role but rather that he thought there needed to be long-term leadership to guide the country’s finances due to the economic fallout of the pandemic.

He said he had been thinking about the decision for some time and that he intends to put his name forward to become the next Secretary General of the Organization for Economic Development and Co-Operation. Mr. Morneau’s resignation followed a meeting with the Prime Minister on Monday and reports of tension between him and Mr. Morneau.

Both are the subject of investigations by the Ethics Commissioner related to a now cancelled contribution agreement with the WE Charity to administer a program for students during the pandemic.

Let's hope that she takes elocution lessons?

Were her degrees and life long experience in finance, economics, banking, insurance? Or does she just need to approve the continuing issue of more and more and more and more and more and more government bonds.

That’s the LibRat way of thinking 🤡

Can you spell bigger disaster.

Super - a YES person complicit in a cabinet decision to FUNNEL tax money to Trudeau’s FAMILY 500,000 through WE...and she was a part time JOURNALIST... Now she’s qualified how..?

I do think she is great, but this appointment doesn’t make cents!

Trudeau needs to step down

Heaven help us 🙏🏻

Future headline: “Most qualified candidate in Canadian history.”

Here is a question? What qualifications does she have in finances? Does she have knowledge of accounting or economics? Does she have any idea of how the economics of a country works? What experience does she have? Please, we need some answers!

It should've been Carney. But let's see if she can make tough decisions and make cuts. Here's some suggestions: - Cut foreign aid - Defund the CBC - Reduce transfer payments to Quebec - Slash funding for the arts

Boy/girl she is some talent. What makes her so talented and capable, one wonders. In classic movie The Apartment, boss asks Jack Lemon's character; What makes you so popular? He had 'other' side, giving his apt key to men to take girls to his apt. What is her other side? We'll C

Time to get short long duration GOC debt - this will be great for yields

An ex journalist that can't dress herself properly is now going to kill the economy even more with a so called green economy push. The incompetence is off the charts with these liberals. Then replace her with a guy who gave government fishing contracts to his family. WTF Canada.

Good choice as she is the one lady government.

She got the job because she obeys Justin

This is probably an improvement but I doubt the PMO will let her make any real changes even if she wanted to

And she’s most likely as corrupt as JT. LOL. The liberals are all corrupt.

As Bill laughes 😂😂😂

Now will people finally realize that the Liberal party is seriously trying to destroy Canada? Not even trying to hide it anymore!

Can she even add?

All In The TrudeauCorruption Family TrudeauMustGo

Dog and pony show. She will be Carney’s little puppet. Fckn Turdope circus sideshow continues.

U should change the name of your rag to 'The Hammer and Sickle'. More appropriate for your content

Speaking of Chrystia has anyone seen her mentor Mort Zuckerman?

More incompetence in the Liberal Government, like that's even possible.

Not a shocker

Glass cliff

Oh crickey

Hey someone call an election NOW!!!! theJagmeetSingh

With a trillion dollar debt - and growing - someone with serious qualifications and experience would be a far more credible choice.

Why not. We have a graphic designer as Minister of Health we might as well have a journalist as Finance Minister. What a circus. cdnpoli

With zero financial experience
