💨 Abstract

Former Canadian Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland announced her candidacy to replace Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as leader of the Liberal Party, following her resignation due to differences over spending. Freeland, a close ally of Trudeau for a decade, criticized his governing style in her resignation letter and faced backlash from Liberal legislators over the party's polling and public dissatisfaction with high prices and the housing crisis.
