Canadian Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland has called on Canadians to cancel streaming services like Disney+ in order to help ease the burden of inflation, a statement that has been criticised by conservatives.
Freeland, who also serves as Deputy Prime Minister in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal cabinet, suggested that Canadians save money by cancelling streaming services, noting that she had personally ended her $13.99-a-month subscription. “I think Canadian families are looking closely at all of their expenses. I, personally, as a mother and wife, look carefully at my credit card bill once a month and last Sunday I said to the kids, ‘you’re older now, you don’t watch Disney anymore. Let’s cut that Disney plus subscription.’ So we cut it,” Freeland said,” CityNews“It’s only 13.99 a month that we are saving but every little bit helps and I think every mother in Canada is doing that right now,” she added.
Many Canadians have difficulty putting food on the table and paying rent, so this is more than a bit tone deaf, but perhaps doing without Disney Plus is really a major hardship for Freeland and her family. 😬
