Canada can work with US President Donald Trump’s administration to reshape global trade and weaken China’s dominance of supply chains, according to Chrystia Freeland, the Canadian politician who’s vying to replace Justin Trudeau as prime minister.

Liberal leadership hopeful Chrystia Freeland says her top rival Mark Carney appears to be “the choice of the Liberal establishment” as more federal cabinet ministers rally around the former Bank of Canada governor.

Abacus Data polling shows 33% of respondents view former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney positively, compared to 29% for former finance minister Chrystia Freeland.

Liberal MP Chrystia Freeland officially launched her campaign to become the Liberal party leader at her University-Rosedale riding in Toronto on Sunday. Speaking at a local Boys and Girls Club, Freeland says she’ll fight for Canada in the face of economic threats from U.

Freeland said that, should President Trump impose a 25% tariff on Canadian imports as he has promised, Canada must direct government departments and agencies to stop purchasing goods and services from U.S. companies and prohibit U.S. firms from bidding on government contracts, with the exception of defense.

The former finance minister said her plan calls for the immediate release of a long list of $200 billion in retaliatory tariffs to deter Trump from making good on his threat to impose 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian imports as soon as February.

Chrystia Freeland sent shockwaves through Canada when she resigned as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Finance Minister in December. Her public resignation letter blasted Trudeau for not doing enough to prepare for the second Trump administration.

The 25% tax that President Donald Trump plans to slap as soon as Saturday on imports from Canada and Mexico could drive up the price of everything from gasoline to pickup trucks to the guacamole dip that features so prominently at American Super Bowl parties.
