Trudeau taps LeBlanc as finance minister after Freeland resigns

Freeland said she felt she had to step down from her position because the prime minister had lost faith in her and wanted to assign her to a new role after she fought back against some of his policy decisions.

She said the country faces a"grave challenge" with the incoming Donald Trump administration and its threat of 25 per cent tariffs. Poilievre said it's up to NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, whose caucus has supported the minority Liberals in key confidence votes throughout this fall, to force an election. Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet said the prime minister should dissolve Parliament and call an election early in the new year centred on who is best positioned to take on the Trump White House.Liberal MP Chad Collins, who signed a letter in October with 23 of his Liberal caucus colleagues calling on Trudeau to step down, re-upped his demand, and so too did vocal Liberal dissenter Wayne Long.

Freeland's move to step down also comes on the heels of a government decision to grant consumers a temporary tax holiday on GST. Fraser is seen internally as a good communicator and a top performer in cabinet. His name has even been floated at times in speculation as someone who could one day replace Trudeau.
