Chrystia Freeland officially launched her campaign to become the next leader of the Liberal Party, less than five weeks after resigning from her cabinet position. She faces competition from former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney, with other potential candidates expected to enter the race soon.
OTTAWA — Less than five weeks after she resigned her cabinet seat over a dispute with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau , Chrystia Freeland has launched her campaign to replace him as the leader of the Liberal party.
Potential candidates have less than a week left to decide if they will enter the race, which will conclude on March 9. They have to pay $50,000 immediately and the rest of the $350,000 entrance fee by mid-February to make it onto the ballot. Freeland, who was leading Canada's response to U.S. tariff threats until she resigned as finance minister, is making fighting back against U.S. president-elect Donald Trump a key plank of her platform.
Former cabinet minister Marie-Claude Bibeau posted her support for Freeland on social media shortly after Freeland's own statement was published.
