Trudeau Government: Canadian Interests and Affairs Job

trudeau government: Chrystia Freeland's promotion to that portfolio is the most significant change to come from Tuesday's cabinet shuffle that also saw Burlington MP Karina Gould take over the troubled Democratic Institutions portfolio, according to Hamilton Spectator. Freeland has her work cut out for her. So it makes sense that in the days leading up to Donald Trump's taking over the presidency, the Trudeau government has put one of its leading lights in the critical Global Affairs post. She has to deal with a mercurial and unpredictable U.S. president and administration, keeping Canadian interests on the radar but not painting a target on our back, which could have happened had prickly St phane Dion remained in the Global Affairs job. But Freeland's track record suggests she's up to the task. She has to be lead navigator for Canada on the world stage, no small challenge given the ascension of Vladimir Putin's Russia to a position of influence rivalling what the United States has traditionally held.
