Liberal leadership hopeful Chrystia Freeland says she wants her rival — former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney — to join her cabinet if she wins the contest on Sunday and becomes prime minister.
Liberal Party of Canada leadership candidate Chrystia Freeland says the best option for Canadians is an experienced political leader like her, with a senior cabinet member on her team.
Freeland touted her past work in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's cabinet to make the case she's best equipped to take on Trump. In the past, she managed the international trade, foreign affairs and intergovernmental affairs portfolios. If Freeland becomes Liberal leader and prime minister, she would still have to face Parliament later this month. Opposition parties have pledged to bring down the government through a vote of non-confidence.Freeland also blasted Trump's tariffs on Wednesday and described them as "illegal and unjustified" — echoingfrom Tuesday when he staunchly criticized Trump's decision and announced Canada's countermeasures.
