Sources close to Freeland tell CTV News that discussions about her next move have been underway in earnest since the start of summer. ...
Freeland visited Ukraine last week with Canadian Ambassador to Ukraine Natalka Cmoc, former prime minister Jean Chretien and former Newfoundland and Labrador premier Andrew Furey. ...
A source familiar with the new appointment tells CTV News Freeland will work directly with Carney as his representative, and will work with Ukrainian leaders on a plan to rebuild the Ukrainian economy.
She will also work closely with Canadian business leaders, labour leaders, scholars and the Ukrainian-Canadian community. ...
The source acknowledged Freeland’s departure from cabinet enables the current government to move away from the Trudeau era. ...
Nanos Research founder and chief data scientist Nik Nanos said in an interview on The Vassy Kapelos Show on Tuesday that Freeland’s departure is the “next step” in Carney distancing himself from his predecessor. Freeland and Trudeau will always be “inextricably linked,” Nanos added.
