OTTAWA - Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appointed his close ally and deputy Chrystia Freeland as finance minister on Tuesday and promised “bold new solutions” to help Canada recover from the pandemic.
Freeland, who is considered Trudeau’s most likely successor as Liberal Party leader, spearheaded negotiations of the United States-Mexico-Canada trade pact in 2017 and 2018 as Canada’s foreign minister. Canada should embrace “bold new solutions”, he said, citing the need to do a better job of protecting the vulnerable and greening an economy that relies heavily on fossil fuel exports.
Freeland’s 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. “The restart of our economy needs to be green. It also needs to be equitable and inclusive,” she told reporters, declining to give more details of her policies.

Good luck Canada, whatever your political leaning. Fom an equally bemused citizen from the UK...
Please stop using “taps” to describe political appointments.
