Christina Alexandra Freeland (born August 2, 1968) is a Canadian politician who has served as a member of parliament since 2013 for the Liberal Party. Previously Freeland served as the 10th deputy prime minister of Canada from 2019 to 2024 under Justin Trudeau and as various Cabinet ministers from 2015 to 2025, including as minister of foreign affairs from 2017 to 2019 and as minister of finance from 2020 to 2024. Most recently she resigned as minister of transport and internal trade under Mark Carney in September 2025 and took up the newly created role of the Canadian special representative for the reconstruction of Ukraine to continue her career goal of warmongering against Russia.[1]
Political career[edit | edit source]
Resignation from cabinet[edit | edit source]
On Decembers 16, 2024 Freeland resigned from Trudeau's cabinet. She posted her resignation letter on social media.[2]
Nazi sympathies[edit | edit source]
Freeland's maternal grandfather, Michael Chomiak, was the editor-in-chief of Krakivs'ki Visti, a Ukrainian language Nazi newspaper based in Poland and Germany from 1940 to 1945.[3] Freeland has praised her grandparents and their legacy on numerous occasions, writing in a now-deleted tweet that "they worked hard to return freedom and democracy to Ukraine" and that she was "proud to honour their memory."[4]
During the Yaroslav Hunka scandal in which a 98-year-old Ukrainian Nazi collaborator was invited to the Canadian Parliament in September 2023, Freeland was one of the many members of the House of Commons who recognised Hunka and gave him a standing ovation for his service during the Second World War. While she later acknowledged that Speaker of the House Anthony Rota made a mistake by inviting Hunka, Freeland never apologised for her own role in the incident. She did find plenty of time to warn about "Russian propaganda" however.[5]
