Chrystia Freeland: Economics Journalist and Tuesday Trudeau

chrystia freeland: I'm the youngest female appointed to cabinet in Canada's history, so that's pretty exciting, Gould said Tuesday, according to Hamilton Spectator. Trudeau shook up his cabinet in a bid to adjust to the upheaval wrought by incoming American president Donald Trump to international affairs in general and Canada's relationship with the United States in particular. And at 29, she's making a mark even before opening a single file of her new Democratic Institutions posting. He entrusted to Chrystia Freeland a former economics journalist with extensive contacts in the United States the crucial responsibility of navigating the changing domestic and global dynamic as his Liberal government prepares to deal with an unpredictable and avowedly America-first Trump administration. And she will retain responsibility for Canada-U.S. trade relations. Freeland leaves the international trade portfolio, where she distinguished herself overcoming eleventh-hour obstacles to a Canada-European free trade agreement, to replace veteran Liberal MP St phane Dion at Global Affairs.
