Chrystia Freeland, Canada’s Deputy Prime Minister, resigned from her cabinet position as finance minister on Monday. Her resignation letter criticized Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s policies, marking the first public dissent from his cabinet. Freeland's departure raises questions about Trudeau's leadership and his ability to maintain party support. This comes just before she was set to discuss government plans for improving border security with the United States. President-elect Trump has threatened to impose 25 percent tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico unless they take stronger action against undocumented migration and drug trafficking.
