Freeland launches leadership campaign, pledges "'true Canadian response" to tariff threat | FULL

Former deputy prime minister Chrystia Freeland launched her bid to be the next federal Liberal leader despite the interruption caused by multiple hecklers. Freeland's speech in Toronto was interrupted several times by protesters with at least one banner and a flag related to Gaza. Freeland said she will seek re-election as a Liberal MP regardless of whether she wins party leadership, and says all other contenders should make the same pledge. In her address, she highlighted the need for the party to prioritize the economy, emphasizing issues such as employment, affordable housing, and quality childcare. She highlighted the existential threat posed by the potential economic policies of U.S. president-elect Donald Trump, asserting that Canada needs to unite and respond effectively. "If you choose me to become leader of the Liberal Party and prime minister, I will lead a true Canadian response to the threat we now face. We will be united. We will be strong. We will be smart. And that's why we will win," Freeland said.
