Chrystia Resigned! Will Justin Resign This Afternoon?

@LunarOrbit

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. She's been the Minister of Finance for the past 4 years, ffs's!

I guess the truth doesn't get all the way out to Alberta, eh?

@hippyjoe1955 He AIN'T his father!🤣

@Guardian You are correct. I wonder if Fidel even knew that snow exists.

@Sapio yeah we're not that lucky 😑

@Lilymoon no, unfortunately, we are not

@JimboSaturn time will tell….

@FoolishLuna
The reason Chrystia Freeland was not invited to Mara Largo with Trudeau is because she is the Deputy Prime Minister of Canada. If Trudeau travels outside Canada, the Deputy Prime Minister stays back in Canada to act as temporary Acting PM under the direction of the Governor General in the event of an untimely death or illness of the Prime Minister while out of the country.

In Chrystia Freeland's particular case, she held two government positions simultaneously, 1) she was the Deputy Prime Minister of Canada and 2) she was the Minister of Finance. Typically in the Canadian political system, you are one or the other but not typically seen holding two distinct positions simultaneously like Freeland was otherwise doing.

If she were NOT the Deputy PM, she could have traveled to Mara Largo with Trudeau because she was the Minister of Finance and dealt directly with NAFTA matters involving Trump during his first run as POTUS 1.0 and was poised for Trump 2.0 in dealing with Trade negotiations between Canada and the USA.

But because she is the Deputy PM, she could not go to Mara Largo if Trudeau decided that he wanted to go too! Therefore, either Trudeau could go or Freeland could go, but both of them could not go together to the USA, nor could they both travel on the same airplane together to get to the USA!

They would have to take separate flights, just like they both do anytime they both meet in some Province in Canada. Taking separate airplane flights is standard protocol for them when traveling within Canada to the same destination, but when one travels outside Canada, the other has to stay back and mind the store.

The reason that LaBlanc got the job as Minister of Finance was because Freeland and Trudeau fundamentally disagreed on how Canada should be responding to Donald Trump's threat against Canada with tariffs.

Trudeau's position is that Trump is bluffing, whereas Freeland's position is that Trump intends to imposed 25% tariffs on Canadian goods entering the USA, at which point Freeland was dismissed from her portfolio as Finance Minister because her and Trudeau could no longer work together on this issue and she was offered something else which she declined to take because she said it was a demotion.

Following that conflict, she resigned as Minister of Finance and then immediately resigned from Trudeau's cabinet, both resignations taking place today, Dec 16th.

@swirlie So true. In the resignation letter she outlined how the finances needed to be firm to combat Trumos tarriffs. I see your point about the deputy prime minister not being with the PM

@Jenny1234 Stay tuned for tonight's news!

@Jenny1234 so Juggie can STAY in...

@LunarOrbit Jughead is a meathead 😒

@BrandNewMan The WEF is on the way out.

@BrandNewMan Its a political earthquake

@JimboSaturn and their timing is going to screw CDNs and cost us even more!!

@hippyjoe1955 Exactly!! From drama teacher to prime minister because of his name!

@Quimliqer Drama teacher to kiddie diddler to sexual assaulter to Prime Minister via the WEF.

@Quimliqer I think Freeland is a highly competent mimister. She was one of the rock stars hence the importance of her resignation and what message it sends

@DownTheStreet Sadly you are right. Justin believes he is Prime Minister by divine right.

@hippyjoe1955 he learned it as a drama teacher
