John Robson: Stop congratulating Freeland for being fired

The big news in Ottawa is that Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland has resigned on principle and Justin Trudeau is now definitely doomed unless he’s not. Wow. But did she jump, or was she pushed?

Pushed. So the first really weird thing about this story is that plethora of news stories, including three separate pieces on the front page of a certain newspaper Monday, all using “resignation” or “quit,” (the fourth waited until page two). But we actually know she was fired.
