Chrystia Freeland and Her Meaningless Slogans

Freeland is still new to her job and lacks the depth of background usually expected of finance ministers. She has shown herself to be a skilled politician and a fast learner. She would do better to listen harder to the voices preaching caution and preparedness, rather than her boss’s view that everything needs to go overboard to save the ship. Canada’s ship isn’t that endangered yet, and doesn’t need to be rebuilt. It could still be run aground by poor captaincy, though.
