Freelands exits Trudeau cabinet
The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday edition that it took Chrystia Freeland's exit letter for the former federal finance minister to say what business leaders, and a vast chunk of the population, have long wanted to hear her tell Prime Minister Justin Trudeau: It is time to get serious. The Globe's Andrew Willis writes that Ms. Freeland quit the federal cabinet on Monday, after Mr. Trudeau told her on Friday he planned to move her out of the Finance Department. Time to "recognize the gravity of the moment" by partnering with premiers to face the existential threat posed by U.S. president-elect Donald Trump's planned tariffs. Time to deal with persistent productivity problems. Enough with what Ms. Freeland rightly described as "costly political gimmicks," like bribe-us-with-our-own-money cheques for $250 and a two-month GST holiday on booze. Enough with working flat out to keep Mr. Mr. Trudeau in power, rather than focusing on what matters to Canadians. Most CEOs long ago gave up on Mr. Trudeau as a leader and look forward to his departure. "Tax-and-spend to me is like eating Sugar Pops for breakfast. You feel really good for an hour and you feel crappy by noon," Dave McKay, RBC chief executive officer, once said.

Polivear is too much bs and will have serious problems trying to give us all the promises....we are in a mess here in Canada.....interesting year ahead.
