Trudeau gave a speech to the Liberals' holiday party — but Freeland stole the show
All evening long, party faithful lined up to have their photos taken with Freeland
On the day the House of Commons adjourned for the holidays, hundreds of Liberals packed the annual caucus party to hear what could be Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's last public speech until the new year — but many partygoers left the event talking about another star guest.
Wearing Liberal red, the now-former finance minister Chrystia Freeland strode into the gathering in Ottawa's Rogers Centre with her son and husband.
The ballroom was already full of party members, staff members and ministers when she arrived. Many noted Freeland walked in with a large entourage of staffers from her former ministry.
It was her first public appearance since she quit cabinet on Monday, having accused the prime minister of seeking to replace her as finance minister and demote her to a lesser role, reportedly one involved with handling Canada-U.S. relations.

Her letter also accused the government of dabbling in "costly political gimmicks" instead of serving the country's best interests — a reference to the Trudeau government's GST/HST holiday.
Following Freeland's resignation, Liberal MPs called for a national caucus meeting. Some of them reportedly asked the prime minister to step down at that meeting. More than a dozen Liberal MPs have called publicly for Trudeau to resign so far this week; the party is entering the holiday season of peace facing a new wave of strife and infighting.
In the early part of Trudeau's 15-minute speech, he cited the growing rift in the party.
"It's hard not to feel happy when we're like this, with Liberals, among family. Because that's what we really are. A big family," he said.
"Like most families, sometimes we have fights around the holidays. But of course, like most families, we find our way through it."
Trudeau paused for applause, which arrived a second and a half later.
Freeland applauded Trudeau throughout his speech. Her husband, seated next to her, did not.
She sat in the front row at the event, to the right of the stage. Others at her table included Flavio Volpe, president of the Automotive Parts Manufacturers' Association, and Liberal MP Ryan Turnbull.
Many cabinet ministers were also present at the event, including Dominic LeBlanc, Marc Miller, Jean-Yves Duclos, François-Philippe Champagne, Patty Hajdu and Ginette Petitpas Taylor.

Some were seen working the room. Transport Minister and Treasury Board President Anita Anand spent the minutes before Trudeau's speech in the back of the room, alone and on her phone.
Anand, who has been rumoured to be interested in the Liberal leadership in the past, was visibly upset on Monday after learning about Freeland's resignation.
Liberals dressed to the nines chatted among themselves, largely talking over the week's news. They drank Canadian wines that ranged in price from $48 to $61 per bottle. The bottom of the wine list noted the GST/HST holiday, which temporarily takes sales tax off wine.
Guests speculated about what might come next — a cabinet shuffle (no consensus on when) or Trudeau's resignation (the room seemed split on whether that's likely to happen). They also traded rumours on who's organizing for a leadership run.
On Tuesday, before the party, Freeland wrote a letter to her supporters thanking them. She ended the letter with a message — "this will not be the end of the road" — that ramped up speculation about her own leadership ambitions.
Some Liberals say her blunt resignation letter, published online, was the starting gun for her own leadership bid.
Author Catherine Tsalikis was set to publish her biography of Freeland in February. That release date has now been pushed up to Friday.

When the biography was announced, the Globe and Mail speculated that it could be tied to a leadership run.
Freeland's office denies involvement in the book but an excerpt posted online shows Tsalikis spoke to people close to her. A source not authorized to speak publicly confirmed that her office had "awareness" of how the book was progressing in early 2023.
Freeland was asked about her leadership ambitions in early December. She dodged the question and said she was planning to run as an MP in the next election.
Soon after his speech, Trudeau stood for pictures with party members. To the right of the room, a line also started forming for pictures with Freeland.
When Trudeau's time for photos ended, the line for photos with Freeland was still going strong.

Trump starts a victory dance over Canada border moves
Will this be enough to get president-elect to drop tariff threat? That's TBD
U.S. president-elect Donald Trump has been roasting Canada like a maple-glazed ham in recent days. But amid all the sizzle in his punchlines, some less-noticed messages might have more meat on them.
The running gag about Canada as a 51st state is clearly generating a torrent of yuk-yuks on Fox News and indignation from his critics.
But new statements from his transition team, his campaign, his press secretary and Capitol Hill Republicans could ultimately point to a more hopeful development for Canada.

Canadian border, this one in a post from his campaign account on the
Truth Social platform. (Truth Social)
Trump's victory lap
It involves the risk of tariffs crushing Canada's economy. And the pretext Trump initially cited as his reason to impose them: wanting new border controls on the flow of migrants and fentanyl.
The development is that his team is now taking a victory lap. It's celebrating the changes Canada announced at the border Tuesday as evidence of Trump getting the job done.
"President Trump is making good on his mandate for sweeping change," said a press release from his transition team Wednesday, headlined, "President Trump Is Securing The Border And He Hasn't Even Taken Office Yet."
"Promises made, promises kept."
This is exactly what Canadian officials predicted after meeting Trump at Mar-a-Lago: They understood he wanted to declare that, even before taking office, he was saving American lives.
Now the incoming White House press secretary is also posting that triumphant message on her Instagram and X accounts, and Capitol Hill Republicans were boasting about a Trump win.
"We're aware of that," pro-Trump congressman Andy Biggs said, when asked by CBC News about the previous day's announcements from Ottawa.
"And indeed that's what happens when you have a strong leader come in and lay down markers. And so we're really happy about that."
Canada has announced a multitude of new changes, ranging from new helicopters at the border, to migration controls, to new money-laundering rules, to a joint Canada-U.S. anti-fentanyl police task force.
Now here's a key question: is it enough to make Trump drop his threat of a 25 per cent tariff? That's unclear. Trump's own congressional allies profess to be in the dark.
"I dunno," Biggs said, when asked. He turned to other Republican colleagues nearby and asked if any knew the answer. None did.
"You're asking me to read the mind of President Trump. I will say that I support him, and he's doing a masterful job."
It's certainly possible Trump could still impose tariffs on Canada.
But in doing so, he'd now risk running against three cross-currents. A couple of polls now suggest a Canada tariff is unpopular, especially with swing voters; it threatens his signature campaign promise to keep prices low; and, now, it could risk the co-operation from Canada he's celebrating.
Trump has still left himself wiggle room to proceed with tariffs or other future trade actions; he's repeatedly referred to Canada's trade deficit with the U.S. as a rip-off, ignoring its close connection to the price of oil.
51st state a 'great idea', Trump posts
Oh, and there's one other thing he's not easily letting go: The jokes. The ones at the expense of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the country next door.
On Wednesday, Trump once again posted favourably about Canada becoming the 51st state, calling it a "great idea."
"No one can answer why we subsidize Canada to the tune of over $100,000,000 a year? Makes no sense! Many Canadians want Canada to become the 51st State," he posted on Truth Social. "They would save massively on taxes and military protection."
Trump has made a series of statements and social media posts since his Nov. 5 election win mocking Canada and Trudeau, previously referring him to as "governor" of the 51st state.
Earlier this week, Trump reacted to the stunning resignation of Chrystia Freeland from cabinet, calling her "toxic."
Freeland was intensively involved in trade talks with U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer during Trump's first term. The pair, along with a top Mexican official, signed the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement, or CUSMA, in 2019, updating the previous North American Free Trade Agreement.
Repeating an old trade-deficit claim?
Biggs, the Republican congressman from Arizona, brushed it off when asked about the Canada-as-state comments from Trump: "Humour is dead," Biggs replied. "I think Donald Trump is being humorous, OK?"
While some suggest Trump is just engaged in trolling, others suggest the threat is an effective political tactic.
"It's to dominate and intimidate, he's been very successful at using those strategies, and typical politicians don't usually know how to respond," Jennifer Mercieca, Texas A&M communications professor and author of Demagogue for President: The Rhetorical Genius of Donald Trump, told CBC News recently.
Mercieca said Trump's humour has the consequence of creating an "in group and out group," putting people into different divisions.
It's not specifically clear where the $100 million came from that Trump is quoting, though it appears he is repeating a figure that is seven years old based on statements made at the time by Lighthizer.
According to reporting by CBC's Evan Dyer at the time, Lighthizer cited a figure in his export calculations that included goods that pass through Canada but don't originate here as Canadian exports, artificially inflating the United States's trade deficit in goods with Canada. The figure did not take into account trade in services.
Trump has long lamented U.S. trade deficits with other countries, though some economists argue that a trade deficit alone does not offer a full accounting of the health of an economy.
"A larger trade deficit can be the result of a stronger economy, as consumers spend and import more while higher interest rates make foreign investors more eager to place their money in the United States," said the think-tank Council on Foreign Relations in a 2019 report.
Canada's defence spending under scrutiny
Previous U.S. presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama urged NATO alliance members to bolster domestic defence spending, and in 2014, NATO members agreed to commit two per cent of their gross domestic product (GDP) to defence spending over the subsequent decade. At the time, Canada was spending only 0.9 percent of its GDP on defence.
Trump in his first presidential campaign and subsequent term in office has railed at alliance members and incorrectly stated they are "delinquent" in spending.
It is now estimated that Canada's military spending is between 1.3 and 1.4 per cent of its GDP.

This summer, Trudeau told a meeting of parliamentarians from NATO nations that Canada is on track to meet its commitment to spend two per cent of GDP on defence by 2032, a pledge that has been met coolly in the U.S.
Canada and other countries should hit the NATO-imposed target of spending two per cent of GDP "as rapidly as humanly possible," U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan said, while Republican congressman Jim Risch of Idaho last month suggested that Trump would let out a "very large guffaw" at Canada's current timeline.
Canada's federal Defence Minister Bill Blair said in recent weeks he was "ready to go faster," and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte earlier this month issued a clarion call to alliance members to increase their defence spending to a "lot more than two per cent." Alliance members need to be on a "wartime footing" with their defence spending, he said.
Some analysts have said the flat metric can provide an incomplete picture.
"Spending at two per cent says very little about a country's actual military capabilities; its readiness, deployability, and
sustainability levels; and the quality of the force that it can field," the think-tank Carnegie Europe said in a 2015 report.
As well, despite a $38-billion modernization package announced by the Liberal government in 2022, Canada's commitments to the North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD) have also come under scrunity.
Blair said last month that he is asking for help from the U.S. because much of what the Canadian Armed Forces has to acquire comes from American corporations and defence contractors.
Canadians cool to being 51st
A recent Leger poll suggests 13 per cent of Canadians would like the country to become the next U.S. state. The demographic breakdowns show there's higher support among men, at 19 per cent, compared with only seven per cent of women.
Conservative party supporters came in at 21 per cent, while one in 10 Liberal voters said they were in favour of the idea. The People's Party of Canada showed the highest level of endorsement among the federal parties, at 25 per cent, while the NDP was the lowest, at six per cent.
Among the overall population, 82 per cent opposed the idea, the highest of which comes from Atlantic provinces, women and Canadians over the age of 55. Leger polled 1,520 people between Dec. 6 and Dec. 9. The poll does not have a margin of error because online polls aren't considered truly random samples.
It's not a question Canadians have often been surveyed on, though it has happened in the past.
A Gallup poll in 1990 around the time of heated Meech Lake accord negotiations revealed that just 13 per cent of those surveyed would support the idea of their province joining the United States, with 79 per cent opposed.

Freeland's resignation letter didn't mention gender, but Trudeau accused of phoney feminism anyway
Gender has become part of conversation around Freeland, even though she didn't bring it up
The day he took office for his "sunny" first term, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appeared in front of Ottawa's Rideau Hall to present the first gender-balanced cabinet in Canadian history. He gave his succinct "because it's 2015" explanation — a remark that became integral to his then-favourable political brand.
Standing in the front row, just behind his right shoulder, was freshly minted Trade Minister Chrystia Freeland.
After years as one of Trudeau's most valuable, versatile political allies, Freeland stunned Ottawa on Monday by abruptly resigning from cabinet. Her thorough resignation letter made no indication her decision was rooted in gender dynamics, but gender became part of the conversation about her departure and Trudeau's future anyway.
A former Liberal minister and political scientists say they weren't surprised — largely because the issues of gender and feminism have been part of the Trudeau Liberals' brand from the very beginning.
'Some feminist'
Freeland said she felt she had to quit because the prime minister had lost faith in her ability as finance minister and wanted to assign her a new role, after she fought decisions that widened the deficit well beyond what she'd previously promised.
Dominic LeBlanc was sworn in as her replacement later Monday.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said the entire situation was an example of Trudeau's "hypocrisy" on feminism.
"Just blame Chrystia Freeland and make her wear it all. Some feminist," Poilievre said at a news conference in Mississauga, Ont., on Tuesday.
"The same week as Trudeau was insulting Americans for not electing a woman president, he was busy throwing his own woman deputy prime minister under the bus to replace her with a man."
Prominent Conservative MP Michelle Rempel Garner asked how any woman in that caucus could "defend that man instead of calling for an election now," while Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said Trudeau needed to start proving himself if he was going to keep declaring himself "to be such a supporter of women."
MP Melissa Lantsman referred to an "old boys' club" being in charge.
"It's time for credible leadership in the seriousness of this moment, not the fake feminism of this phoney prime minister," said Lantsman, who represents the Conservatives in the Thornhill riding.

Women, men alike have also quit
The Trudeau government has enacted a number of policies and changes to women's benefit: Ten-dollar-a-day child care, increased maternity leave and drawing a hard line at saying Liberal MPs and candidates had to be pro-choice. Trudeau's gender-balanced cabinet included women who held high-profile roles like finance, defence and foreign affairs.
Some women have also stuck with Trudeau for years. Katie Telford has been his only chief-of-staff, while other prime ministers like Stephen Harper, Jean Chrétien and Brian Mulroney went through four or five.
Women and men alike have resigned from Trudeau's cabinet for various reasons over the years — some due to their working relationships with the prime minister and others not at all. Freeland's own predecessor, Bill Morneau, gave up the finance portfolio in 2020 over an ethics controversy.
But former Liberal MP Celina Caesar-Chavannes said she believes there is a pattern of female cabinet ministers who were "thrown under the bus" after "challenging someone whose name is Trudeau."
Caesar-Chavannes quit the Liberal party to sit as an Independent in 2019 after she said the prime minister had been hostile with her during a disagreement. Trudeau pushed two high-profile women — Jane Philpott and Jody Wilson-Raybould — out of the Liberal caucus after they stepped down from their respective positions in cabinet that same year.
"I don't want to make this gendered, but you have to recognize… The body count is racking up," Caesar-Chavannes said in an interview with CBC's Canada Tonight on Monday.
"This is a moment of leadership for Canadians where we need to say enough is enough of a leader who decides that whenever he is challenged on something that someone else has an authority to speak on, like economics, that he's just going to throw them away."
Trudeau has not directly commented on Freeland's resignation but said Monday was not "an easy day" during a speech for an unrelated event.
The pair did see one another at a Liberal caucus meeting late Monday. Freeland walked up to Trudeau and gave him a hug, multiple sources told CBC News.
Trudeau opened the door
Political science professors said Freeland's letter was clear in describing her reasoning for leaving cabinet, but neither were surprised the part of the political conversation had turned to focus on her gender.
One said Trudeau opened the door for such criticism as soon as he made feminism part of his brand more than a decade ago.
"I think it's only fair to respect her explanation why she has made the decision. But I also think that the question of gender is relevant when the prime minister makes gender relevant," said Fiona MacDonald, an associate professor of political science at the University of Northern British Columbia.
"For a lot of us who've been watching this prime minister who came in identifying as a feminist, there is, I think, a frustration to see these kinds of self-congratulatory statements while watching a number of actions that might suggest otherwise."
Melanee Thomas, a political science professor at the University of Calgary, said the only gendered element she sensed behind Freeland's resignation letter was the "frustration" qualified women can experience when men in power dismiss their advice.
Still, she said those who are focusing Freeland's resignation on the fact that she is a woman are oversimplifying the issue and distracting from the true factors Freeland cited in her decision. The fact the conversation exists, Thomas said, shows Canadian politics still see conflict through an age-old gendered lens.
"I don't know if I would go so far as to say that it devalues what she's doing. But I would say again, it's trite and too cute to think that gender dynamics aren't structuring the whole way that we see this stuff."
Exactly one week ago, Trudeau spoke at Equal Voice — an organization that promotes women in politics — about his views on feminism and mentioned Freeland directly.
"I've touted the adage, 'add women, change politics,' which is to us more than just words. We've taken action to make it a reality, appointing the first female finance minister," he said.
"I want you to know that I am, and always will be, a proud feminist."

What's next for Justin Trudeau now that some of his own MPs want him gone?
Embattled prime minister faces caucus calls to go, a depleted cabinet and emerging leadership contenders
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau faces an acute crisis as a growing number of his own MPs demand that he resign and accuse him of mismanaging his relationship with Chrystia Freeland, once his most trusted lieutenant.
Through it all, he still has the job of governing the country — which is not getting any easier.
Eight cabinet ministers have either retired or resigned in recent months. They've left gaps on Trudeau's front bench as the country grapples with a series of crises, most notably U.S. president-elect Donald Trump's threat to impose economic ruin on Canada through punishing tariffs on exports.
Trudeau's temporary solution for the staffing woes has been to give Dominic LeBlanc much more responsibility — he's currently serving as minister of finance, public safety and intergovernmental affairs, arguably three of the most challenging cabinet portfolios right now.

Trudeau's former governing partner, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, has said Trudeau must resign.
MP Peter Julian, the NDP House leader, said Monday the party will vote non-confidence in the government if Trudeau stays on as Liberal leader into the new year.
Julian said that if this "Liberal debacle" continues into February or March, the NDP will pull its support for the government once and for all. That means a federal election could come as soon as this spring — a grim prospect for Trudeau, given polls that suggest he's deeply unpopular and the Liberal Party has the support of just 20 per cent of voters.
Trudeau has been tight-lipped in public about a challenging week for himself and his government.
He hasn't spoken to the press and he cancelled a series of year-end interviews with media outlets, including CBC News, that were scheduled to take place Wednesday.
At two Liberal Christmas parties this week, one for top donors on Monday and another for political staffers on Tuesday, he made veiled references to the Freeland fracas and the internal movement to oust him.
"Like most families, sometimes we have fights during the holidays. But like most families, we find our way through it," he said Tuesday.
A growing number of calls to resign
What started out as a secret movement to oust Trudeau in October has spilled out into the open, and a growing number of Liberal MPs seem increasingly comfortable with calling for him to resign.
A movement to covertly gather signatures from disaffected MPs for a letter calling on him to resign has exploded into a more concerted campaign to pressure him out of the job.
Those wayward Liberal MPs have been speaking openly to reporters on Parliament Hill and they have gone on political shows like CBC's Power & Politics to press for Trudeau to go.
About 13 Liberal MPs have gone on the record saying Trudeau must resign and make way for somebody else. But there are many more Liberal MPs who also want him gone, according to MPs who are pushing for him to resign.
Liberal MP Chad Collins estimates the number of caucus members who want him out at between 40 and 50. If a secret ballot were held on Trudeau's future, he would lose, Collins told CBC Radio.
Liberal MP Wayne Long said at least a third of the caucus — roughly 50 MPs — want him to resign right away, while another third are on the fence. He suggests about a third of the caucus are Trudeau loyalists who think he should press on.

In a letter to MPs sent Wednesday and obtained by CBC News, Long said "the time for loyalty at all costs, for quiet hand-wringing and polite whispers behind closed doors, has passed."
"This isn't just about one man — it's about saving our party from historic defeat," he wrote. "Let's ask ourselves: Do we want to stay silent and allow this to happen? Silence is complicity."
Other MPs still aren't comfortable going public as anti-Trudeau members of caucus.
MP Sean Casey, an avowed anti-Trudeau member of caucus, said the number of Liberals calling for his resignation will grow after the coming cabinet shuffle.
Sources say some MPs have been approached for background checks and interviews ahead of a shuffle, giving them some hope that they may get tapped to join cabinet — the ultimate goal for many elected officials.
"I think it's much more likely some of these people will express those feelings once they're passed over," Casey said Tuesday.
Waiting for the cabinet shuffle
Before Freeland's resignation, it was widely expected that the much-anticipated cabinet shuffle was going to happen this week.
According to a Liberal source who spoke to Radio-Canada, Freeland was told by the prime minister in a Zoom call on Friday that she would be replaced as finance minister by former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney on Tuesday.
But Carney had not agreed to the move when the PM raised it with Freeland, according to a source who spoke to CBC News. Both sources spoke on the condition they not be named.

Freeland ultimately resigned rather than accept a different position, which sources say was minister without portfolio with some responsibility for the Canada-U.S. relationship.
Her resignation derailed the cabinet shuffle plans — but sources have said one could still happen this week to deal with the gaping holes in cabinet.
Six cabinet ministers — Sean Fraser, Pablo Rodriguez, Marie-Claude Bibeau, Carla Qualtrough, Filomena Tassi and Dan Vandal — have told Trudeau in recent months they are not running in the next election. Rodriguez has already left cabinet and is sitting as an Independent.
MP Randy Boissonnault, Trudeau's former employment minister, resigned amid scandal over his Indigenous ancestry claims and business dealings last month.
Those departures, combined with Freeland's resignation, means there are now eight cabinet spots that need to be filled in short order.
In addition to LeBlanc's triple-duty portfolio, Anita Anand is serving as both president of the Treasury Board and transport minister and Ginette Petitpas Taylor is the employment minister, the minister for official languages and the Veterans Affairs minister.
With Trudeau's leadership in a very tenuous position, talk has turned to who could replace him if he resigns.
Freeland has decided to stay on as a Liberal MP and run again in her Toronto-area seat in the next election — a sign that she might launch a leadership campaign of her own if Trudeau quits.
Freeland's decision to resign and then criticize Trudeau's "costly political gimmicks" — a thinly veiled reference to the GST holiday and the promised $200 cheques for working Canadians — could be interpreted as a way for the former finance minister to distance herself from an unpopular prime minister and present herself as a more moderate political force who tried to take on a spendthrift leader.
Long, the disaffected MP, said there are other possible contenders for Trudeau's job besides Freeland: Carney, LeBlanc, Anand and Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly.
