Chrystia Freeland, Canada’s Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister, has announced her resignation from her position in the federal government, sparking widespread speculation about her political future.
In a formal statement, Freeland revealed that she intends to run for re-election in her Toronto seat in the upcoming federal election, signaling her desire to remain involved in politics, but outside her ministerial role.
Freeland, a key figure in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government, has played a pivotal role in managing sensitive issues such as Canada's financial affairs and international relations.
She gained prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic, where she led efforts to support the economy and help small and medium-sized businesses recover.
Additionally, she was instrumental in the renegotiation of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), a key trade deal between the three countries.
