It makes no difference to Canadians if Freeland is booted out , or voted out As long a she's out

[@FrankSmith-kg3dh]

Agreed the Pig has fallen

[@AAnnie...Iamokay]

When Trudeau says, ‘I have full confidence in’ someone, he is making sure that they resign, retire or step down. It’s a pattern for him.

[@Kongohh]

She sold Canada to wave of foreign investors and sent the money to Ukraine 😩😫 she should be jailed!

[@derrickpiche1119]

she was a poor choice to begin with among many other bad choices .

[@AppaGo420-rz5bz]

Trudeau was as bad a choice by Canadians as Freeland was by Trudeau.

[@kenlam4978]

and Freeland is trying to save herself by telling the weak non-professional tie she has with Carney

[@christinecamley]

Definitely.💯

[@seanwebb605]

@@keithmcgrath-ns2gz Freeland is intelligent, educated and accomplished. Carney is unlikely to replace her as finance minister anyway. The Liberals probably won't form the next government. Carney doesn't have a seat in the house of commons or the senate and wouldn't likely be given a cabinet position until after winning a seat.

[@tchevrier]

The current state of our military is embarrassing and disgraceful. And this is the fault of the Canadian public. For decades and decades Canadians have demanded government reduce military spending which is naive and shortsighted. The fact that the government refuses to meet NATA spending targets is absurd. And those who standup and honour our military servicemen while at the same time refusing to give them a nickel for equipment is hypocritical.
