Tue Dec 17 05:49:53 UTC 2024: **Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland Resigns**
OTTAWA – Canadian Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland has resigned from her post, just hours before she was scheduled to deliver the annual federal budget. In a letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Freeland cited differing views on Canada’s economic path as the reason for her departure. This follows a statement last week where she indicated her unwillingness to continue as a senior economic advisor in Trudeau’s government. The precise nature of the disagreements between Freeland and Trudeau remains unclear.
