Berlin-based Canadian academic, Brian Poole, professes his love for Chrystia Freeland:
First the obvious accolades. She’s the smartest and most experienced person in Canadian politics. But also the least visible until now. Canadians will vaguely recall her role as Minister of Foreign Affairs (2017), as Deputy Prime Minister (2019), and as Finance Minister (2020) in Justin Trudeau’s government. A poor reflection of her actual intellectual stature.
The Prime Minister kept her on a short leash. He feared her acumen and her eloquence. Which means that we usually saw her standing politely behind him. Even when Trudeau visited Zelensky in Kyiv, Freeland was kept in the background, despite the fact that she speaks Zelensky’s mother tongue (Russian) fluently and his adopted language (Ukrainian) perfectly. It was painful to watch.
Update: Commenter ‘Shawn’ posted this: “Sure as hell, this appears nothing more than a WEF bait and switch. Both Freeland and Turd are both in on it playing out their parts to fool the public.” Which inspired this AI image:
