Chaos and Fear in the Liberal Party
In a chaotic press conference this week, a defensive Freeland squirmed under an onslaught of questions about her precarious future as the finance minister.
As reporters pressed for answers, she stumbled through vague non-responses, clearly rattled by the public airing of private Liberal party turmoil.
But her running away from the reporters and repeating her vague non answers possibly did her more harm than she could have possibly managed by just answering.
The political ground is shifting rapidly beneath Freeland’s feet. With Trudeau’s inner circle angrily pointing fingers over the Liberal brand imploding, she has become the scapegoat for their collapsing fortunes.
And it doesn’t look like things are shifting any differently.
Freeland In Jeopardy
It is not a day that ends with the letter “y” if the liberal goons that are supporting Trudeau are not honouring him by lying continuously and virtue signalling like there is no tomorrow.
Today our subject in question happens to be none other than our dear deputy prime minister and Canada’s current – although that might be in question now – minister of finance Chrystia Freeland.
Freeland here has found herself in the most acute of public positions in the middle of a rumour storm that concerns her career and position as finance minister and how Trudeau might be unhappy with her results and looking to fire her permanently.
Things have gotten so intense and anxious for her that she was stumbling backwards trying to run away from blatantly answering reporters’ questions during a recent press conference that she held.

But let us hold the brakes for a moment here and understand how this all came to be in the first place just for the sake of much needed context.
This all began a couple of weeks ago when Trudeau was just fresh off a historic by-election in a famously liberal riding that has never skewed conservative for decades.
Obviously the cocky Trudeau was brought down back to reality and the party started whispering amongst itself about replacing Trudeau and booting him from the position of the leader of the liberal party so that they may have a chance in the 2025 general election against Poilievre.
A lot of liberal MPs anonymously and publicly voiced their concern and their disagreements with Trudeau, making sure to highlight the idea that they were in favour of holding a vote and voting Trudeau out from the leader’s position.
But there were also another group of MPs and ministers – mainly from Trudeau’s inner and most trusted circle – that came out in full support of Trudeau and backed him up as a leader and as a prime minister doing his best job running Canada. One of these delusional idiots happened to be Freeland herself coming out to support Trudeau in his time of need.
Freeland Causes Trudeau to Be Unhappy
But during all the chaos and the talks about Trudeau being ousted and booted by his own revolting liberal party, Trudeau thought of ways to change up the party and remove what he deemed as the actual rot that is bringing the party down.
And unfortunately no he is not self aware enough to step down himself as a first order to bring peace and stability to the liberal party. Trudeau was actually eyeing Freeland as the finance minister.
As the reports state, Trudeau might be very unhappy with how Freeland is running the Canadian economy, but instead of blaming himself as well for allowing such atrocities and signing off on it; Trudeau is putting the blame solely on Freeland and is looking to replace Freeland with Mark Carney who he has been trying to recruit to the liberal party in an official status for some time now.
So fast forward to the present time and here we have all of Canada wanting to in a more concrete manner if Freeland is actually going to stay in her position as a finance minister.
Cornered and Questioned
Naturally, when Freeland holds her first press conference where she has a bigger presence in an official capacity, she is going to get asked about this very same thing that is on the mind of all Canadians hoping she is actually getting the boot.
So of course she starts her stupid speech by talking about nonexistent or temporary accomplishments like the inflation being toned down for the past couple of months with nothing to show for it in the economy moving forward.
It seems she is setting the stage for the questions about her losing her position by stating her accomplishments to try to paint herself in a more positive light. Good luck to her weak efforts.
It wasn’t long though before a reporter started testing the water by asking Freeland about Mark Carney and how Trudeau has been trying to recruit him to the liberal party.
And wouldn’t you know it, Freeland proceeds to quite possibly give the shortest answer ever by stating how she is happy Mark Carney is joining the liberal party and how she is looking forward to what he brings to the table.

Colour me shocked that Freeland did not ramble and give a nonanswer when asked about Carney. It looks to me that she is more anxious and afraid than she is letting on and she doesn’t want her emotions to show while talking about him.
You can see that clearly when she is directly asked by the reporter finally getting to the meat of the subject, her answer is nothing more than pleasantries and a pathetic plea to her nonexistent supporters by showing them her bullshit caring side.
And she repeats it two more times with the seals behind her clapping for absolute hogwash coming out of her mouth. Talking about serving Canadians and whatnot; give me a break, she is clearly cornered and can’t find a way out of this line of questioning.
So what did we learn from this? We learned that Freeland is clearly afraid to answer honestly and that is why she is throwing us for a loop without a proper answer.
It looks to me like time is ticking for Freeland and there is nothing that she can do.
