Chrystia Freeland’s name is synonymous with success in the world of politics. However, her journey to becoming Canada’s Deputy Prime Minister was anything but conventional. Freeland started her career as a journalist, working for respected publications such as the Financial Times, The Economist, and The Globe and Mail. During her time as a journalist, she gained a deep understanding of economic and political issues, earning her a reputation as a trusted and knowledgeable source.
But it was in 2013 when Freeland’s political career truly took off. She won a seat in the Canadian House of Commons and was appointed as the Minister of International Trade in 2015. During her tenure, she played a vital role in negotiating the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with the European Union, one of Canada’s most ambitious trade agreements to date.
In 2017, Freeland made history by becoming Canada’s first female Minister of Foreign Affairs. She continued to make waves on the global stage, working tirelessly to strengthen Canada’s relationships with other countries. In 2018, she spearheaded the renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which led to the modernization of the trade agreement and its new name, the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).
