But that's not good enough.
Zelenskyy hired her on Dec. 22.
She disclosed that to Carney on Dec. 24. The two of them decided to keep it a secret because…
They gave $2.5 billion to Ukraine on Dec. 27.
What was her involvement in that Dec. 27 decision? https://t.co/R4f0wYEi2P

What a country.
National Post- There’s not actually anything to stop Canadian MPs working for foreign governments
After former deputy prime minister Chrystia Freeland got a job with the Ukrainian government while still serving as an MP, she was lambasted by the opposition for serving two masters.
But…
Canada doesn’t have any restrictions against foreign government actors serving in its parliament.
Blacklock’s- No Staff, No Budget, No Job
Appointment of Liberal MP Chrystia Freeland (University-Rosedale, Ont.) as Special Representative for the Reconstruction of Ukraine came with no office, no staff, no travel expenses or budget, records show. Freeland took the appointment with a $79,700 pay cut.
In Ottawa they call it “arm’s-length.” Out in the real world, people call it duck-and-cover. At Meeting No. 6 of the House of Commons transport committee, MPs confronted a simple, damning timeline: Transport Canada’s top non-partisan official was warned six weeks before the public announcement that BC Ferries would award a four-ship contract to a Chinese state-owned yard. Yet the former transport minister, Chrystia Freeland, told Parliament she was “shocked.” Those two facts do not coexist in nature. One is true, or the other is.
There’s an even bigger betrayal hiding in plain sight. In the last election, this Liberal government campaigned on a Canada-first message—jobs here, supply chains here, steel here. And then, when it actually mattered, they watched a billion-dollar ferry order sail to a PRC state yard with no Canadian-content requirement attached to the federal financing. So much for “Canada first.” Turns out it was “Canada… eventually,” after the press release.
Conservatives put the revelation on the record and asked the only question that matters in a democracy: what did the minister know and when did she know it? The documents they cite don’t suggest confusion; they suggest choreography—ministerial staff emailing the Prime Minister’s Office on how to manage the announcement rather than stop the deal that offshored Canadian work to a Chinese state firm.
Follow the money and it gets worse. A federal Crown lender—the Canada Infrastructure Bank—underwrote $1 billion for BC Ferries and attached no Canadian-content requirement to the financing. In plain English: taxpayers took the risk, Beijing got the jobs. The paper trail presented to MPs is smothered in black ink—hundreds of pages of redactions—with one stray breadcrumb: a partially visible BC Hydro analysis suggesting roughly half a billion dollars in B.C. terminal upgrades to make the “green” ferry plan work. You’re not supposed to see that. You almost didn’t.
“She wants to spend more time on graft”.
*satire, obviously.
You just might be a Liberal.
Globe and Mail- Federal infrastructure bank provided $1-billion in financing for BC Ferries purchase of four new Chinese-made ships
The federal government’s Canada Infrastructure Bank provided $1-billion in financing for BC Ferries’ plan to buy four new ships from a Chinese state-owned shipyard, a fact that Transport Minister Chrystia Freeland did not mention last week when she sharply criticized the purchase.
Rebel News- Chrystia Freeland says America is turning into a “predator” and that Canada needs to work with our nuclear-armed allies as the U.S. stops being the leader of the free world.
A costly federal tax break meant to give holiday shoppers relief did little to help retailers, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) said.
Blacklock’s Reporter says the temporary suspension of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on select items, passed by Parliament at a price tag of $2.7 billion, failed to generate a meaningful increase in sales.
Last year, the Trudeau government implemented a 3% tax on any digital services company – think Google, Facebook, or Netflix – that earns more than $20 million in Canada.
The Americans have opposed the tax since it was first proposed and the Biden administration threatened retaliation. In August 2024, the Americans filed a complaint under the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement claiming it violated the trade agreement.
Chrystia Freeland’s Liberal leadership campaign has been targeted by “co-ordinated and malicious activity” traced back to a WeChat account accused of having ties to the Chinese government, according to the task force set up to monitor foreign election interference.
According to the Security and Intelligence Threats to Elections Task Force (SITE), which is made up of senior intelligence and security officials, the activity was traced to WeChat’s “most popular news account — an anonymous blog that has been previously linked by experts at the China Digital Times to the People’s Republic of China.”
The rest is here, with more from Sam Cooper.
I just had a good call with President Trump. Canada is implementing our $1.3 billion border plan — reinforcing the border with new choppers, technology and personnel, enhanced coordination with our American partners, and increased resources to stop the flow of fentanyl. Nearly 10,000 frontline personnel are and will be working on protecting the border.
In addition, Canada is making new commitments to appoint a Fentanyl Czar, we will list cartels as terrorists, ensure 24/7 eyes on the border, launch a Canada- U.S. Joint Strike Force to combat organized crime, fentanyl and money laundering. I have also signed a new intelligence directive on organized crime and fentanyl and we will be backing it with $200 million.
Proposed tariffs will be paused for at least 30 days while we work together.
President Trump says he agreed to “immediately pause” tariffs on Mexico for a month after a “very friendly” conversation with the country’s president Claudia Sheinbaum.
“I just spoke with President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico. It was a very friendly conversation wherein she agreed to immediately supply 10,000 Mexican Soldiers on the Border separating Mexico and the United States,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “These soldiers will be specifically designated to stop the flow of fentanyl, and illegal migrants into our Country,” he wrote.
Freeland is on CNN.

Now, "Just cut it out."

Ladies and gentlemen, let’s get something straight: The Bank of Canada just made a desperate move to keep the illusion of stability alive in a country that is already spiraling into economic disaster.
Tiff Macklem, the so-called head of our central bank, just announced the sixth consecutive rate cut, slashing the overnight rate to 3%. On the surface, that might sound like good news for some. Cheaper mortgages, maybe a little relief on your debt. But let’s be real—this isn’t economic strength. This is a blinking red warning light that our economy is in free fall.
And here’s what they’re not telling you: The Bank of Canada isn’t just cutting rates. They’re restarting asset purchases in March — which, in plain English, means they’re turning the money printers back on. This is what central banks do when they’re out of real solutions. When they can’t grow the economy naturally, they inflate their way out of the problem. The same reckless policy that triggered the inflation crisis in 2021 is coming back, and they’re hoping you’re too distracted to notice.
So why are they doing this? Because Canada’s economy is collapsing…

Blacklock’s- Hit New Low Under Freeland
“The federal government’s ability or willingness to produce high quality, timely financial statements continues to deteriorate,” said a Budget Office report Fall Economic Statement: Issues For Parliamentarians. “It reached a new low this year with a historically long delay in the signing of Public Accounts by the Auditor General 253 days after the fiscal year ended.”
Desperate times call for desperate lies.
As former finance minister Chrystia Freeland prepares to launch a Liberal leadership bid, a source close to her [that would be Freeland] says scrapping the controversial consumer carbon tax will be one of her policy planks.
“She is ready to make difficult decisions to meet our emissions targets and make sure big polluters pay for their outsized emissions. But she will not fight Canadians on a policy they have been clear, they do not support,” the source tells CTV News. “That’s why Chrystia Freeland will replace the consumer carbon price with a system that will work within our federation and will be developed collaboratively with provinces and territories.”
Meaning, the consumer still pays the carbon tax and she thinks Canadians are idiots.
Fun fact: 🇨🇦’s last finance minister executed a wild accounting scheme that no one is discussing.
This reckless moved padded the pockets of corporate interests, artificially inflates gov revenue, & is partially responsible for the loonie’s plunge.
🧵👇 2/ One of her favorite moves was borrowing on behalf of corporate interests. 🇨🇦 wasn’t “giving” money, it borrowed for them.
It later forgave billions turning it into strategic corporate welfare & they refused to disclose for whom. But that’s another issue.
3/ the real issue was the real estate loans.
