Freeland departs, after a heroic effort to hold the deficit to $62-billion

In fairness to the Prime Minister, who knew that if you spent three months undermining your own Finance Minister, refusing to express confidence in her while your underlings trash-talked her to the press, then told her over a Zoom call that you were about to move her out of her plum job into another with no staff or power or responsibilities but, by the way, would she please stay on long enough to deliver a mini-budget with a $62-billion deficit in it so you could make it look like that was why you were firing her and then give her job to Mark Carney, she would take it the wrong way? Women, eh?
