The former deputy prime minister of the Liberal government says she is the best leader for the country amid the currently fraught relationship with the United States.
Chrystia Freeland, who is running for leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada, sat down for an interview with CTV News Atlantic’s Bruce Frisko during her visit to Halifax on Monday. Freeland, who resigned from outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s cabinet late as the finance minister last year, said it was a “hard thing to do and the right thing to do.”
“I was the one minister who had the gumption to resign,” she said. “We are at an existential moment for our country. I take the threat Donald Trump poses to our country very seriously”.
