CNN —Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau soared to victory in 2015 on the promise of change and “sunny ways” for the country. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland arrive for a meeting with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in Kyiv, Ukraine on June 10, 2023. On Monday, Finance Minister Freeland quit her post hours before she was due to deliver an annual fiscal update. Trudeau has so far been adamant that he will stay on as prime minister and has yet to directly acknowledge Freeland’s exit. “The Great State of Canada is stunned as the Finance Minister resigns, or was fired, from her position by Governor Justin Trudeau,” Trump said on his social media platform Truth Social.

TORONTO AP —Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau faces the biggest test of his political career after Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, long one of his most powerful and loyal ministers, announced Monday that she was resigning from the Cabinet. But she said in her resignation letter to the prime minister that the only “honest and viable path” was to leave the Cabinet. “For the past number of weeks, you and I have found ourselves at odds about the best path forward for Canada,” Freeland said. But the son of late Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau is now in big trouble. Carney has long been interested in entering politics and becoming the leader of the Liberal Party.
