Chrystia Freeland is one hell of a dynamo, a politico with brains, a past newspaper editor, a mother, and a wife. This woman does not let the grass grow under her feet; instead, she moves forward in any work she does quickly, thoughtfully and intelligently. Trudeau has erred in allowing his masculine ego to come between Freeland and himself. She has always been a staunch supporter of every man for whom she has been working, unwavering, loyal and dependable in every way. Trudeau has let his ego destroy whatever chances he had in remaining as Liberal Party leader and a viable contender for the next federal election.
