Canada’s globalist Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister, Chrystia Freeland, has resigned shortly before releasing a fiscal update, claiming that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called on her to leave last Friday. The resignation follows what Freeland described as growing differences with Prime Minister Trudeau over the country’s economic direction.

In a letter shared on social media, Freeland detailed that Trudeau informed her last Friday of his desire for a change in the finance portfolio. Freeland acknowledged that she had lost the Prime Minister’s confidence. She declined an offer for a different ministerial role but expressed her desire to remain active in politics by running in the next federal election.

Freeland and Trudeau have reportedly disagreed on various issues. Freeland is concerned about the threat of 25 percent tariffs mentioned by President-elect Donald J. Trump, who is pressuring Canada to secure its border. In her letter, she described Trudeau as engaging in “costly political gimmicks, which we can ill afford” rather than taking Trump’s tariff threat seriously.

Freeland has been one of Trudeau’s closest allies over the years and is a noted globalist, working directly with the World Economic Forum (WEF) as a member of the Forum’s Board of Trustees.

Part Ukrainian, Freeland has also been a hawk regarding the war between Russia and Ukraine and has been banned from entering Russia for years. Controversially, her grandfather was a Nazi sympathizer during the Second World War, running a pro-Nazi newspaper.

In September of last year, Freeland was one of the Liberal Party members who greeted Ukrainian Waffen SS veteran Jaroslav Hunka in the Canadian parliament during President Volodymyr Zelensky’s visit.
