A former journalist turned senior government minister – who was dubbed a “nasty woman” by Donald Trump after bruising trade negotiations with the US – has announced that she will run for leadership of Canada’s ailing Liberal party.
Chrystia Freeland declared her intention to become the next Liberal leader – and the country’s next prime minister – on Friday with a post on social media, with plans for a formal campaign launch in Toronto on Sunday.

Did you see my post about Mark Carney yesterday? He shouldn't be far down your list either. The guy shows up to his campaign announcement in a rolls royce limousine. Really leaning into the Liberal elite demo I guess.
Mark Carney Vote for me, I am better than you.

Liberal party saw how well the "replace your unlikeable leader with the second most unlikeable person you can find" strategy the Dems tried worked and said "give me some of that". Hahahaha

It looks like Canada has a lot of the unlikeable politicians around. Are there any that are reasonable and likable, or are they all just a bunch of regular politicians. Seems us Murkans have the same kind of problem here. What is it with politicians? They all remind me of the kids running for offices in high school.

Why in the world would any sane Canadian vote for Freeland after getting rid of Turd-O? Freeland was probably the power behind the throne, since Turd-O seemed to be as on the ball as Joe Bi-Den.
