A stunning blow to Justin Trudeau’s government — Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland announced her resignation this morning. The breaking news happened just hours before she was set to deliver an economic update. In a letter, she said resigning was her only “honest and viable path.” David Akin has more on the new finance minister — Dominic LeBlanc — and what possible next steps Trudeau could take. With Freeland’s sudden resignation from the finance minister position, she obviously didn’t table the government’s fall economic statement as planned - Government House Leader Karina Gould ended up doing that. And as Mackenzie Gray reports, the mini-budget is painting a less than stellar picture of the government’s finances.
