Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland’s shock resignation from the Liberal cabinet set up a tense and confusing day in Canadian politics, and upstaged the government’s plan for dealing with U.S. president-elect Donald Trump.
Monday’s fall economic statement was stuffed with billions in tax incentives and programs to get businesses and pension funds investing. The Liberals are also promising to fix key supports on which innovative firms rely, and to buy more from them.
But all of that was drowned out by a blockbuster resignation letter in which Freeland warned against “costly political gimmicks” and a government focused on its own interests.
So, what does this all mean for Canadian businesses? The Logic’s Murad Hemmadi, David Reevely and Laura Osman sat down to talk everything through.
