Canada

”That means keeping our fiscal powder dry today, so we have the reserves we may need for a coming tariff war," Freeland wrote. "That means eschewing costly political gimmicks, which we can ill afford and which make Canadians doubt that we recognize the gravity of the moment."

Really felt like she was dropping what we’ve all been thinking about gimmicks and politicians more interested in themselves than the country.

Honestly if she felt this way then she failed at her job by not pushing that perspective.

Why did she push forward the cheques and tax holiday if they’re gimmicks. She could have said she’d resign before the gimmicks, but now that they’re out and have backfired I think that ends her political career in any future cabinet.

Honestly going ride or die on your beliefs is needed. Now she’s burned herself, yet she’s still throwing shade like it’s the parties fault, which just hurts everyone. Funny how she has this perspective now.

ETA: I might be too hard on Freeland here, I had mistakenly thought she announced these programs.
