Protesters mar former finance minister’s campaign launch for Canada’s next prime minister

Associated Press  

TORONTO — Pro-Palestinian protesters and a significant endorsement of her rival for the Liberal Party leadership marred former Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland’s campaign launch on Sunday for the job of Canada’s next prime minister. It was Freeland’s abrupt resignation as finance minister last month that forced Justin Trudeau’s exit as prime minister and party leader. “If you force our hand, we will inflict the biggest trade blow that the United States has ever endured.” After she resigned as finance minister, Trump called Freeland “totally toxic” and “not at all conducive to making deals.” Freeland was Canada’s point person when the U.S, Canada and Mexico redid its free trade deal during the first Trump administration. Freeland and Trudeau had disagreed about two recently announced policies: a temporary sales tax holiday on goods ranging from children’s clothes to beer, and plans to send every citizen a check for $250 Canadian dollars Freeland, who was also deputy prime minister, said Canada could not afford “costly political gimmicks.” “For sometime I had been in disagreement with the prime minister specifically over spending,” Freeland said.
