The departure of Chrystia Freeland from the federal cabinet is an interesting moment. That sounds like a statement of the obvious, but it’s an interesting moment for more than just the obvious reasons. While most of the speculation and analysis — and even, frankly, simply gossip — surrounding Freeland’s departure focused on what it meant politically for her and the prime minister and the government, and what it told us about the personal relationship between the two, there’s another element here. What does it tell us about the government’s vision of Canada in a changing world?
If there’s a vision at all.
