Freeland isn't even Trudeau's first finance minister to quit. Anybody remember Bill Morneau? His feelings on COVID relief sound a bit similar to Freeland's resignation letter:

Former federal finance minister Bill Morneau says that when it came to COVID-19 pandemic aid policy, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the top advisers in his office favoured "scoring political points" over policy rationales, leading to him feeling like a "rubber stamp" ahead of his "inevitable" resignation.

β€œMy job of providing counsel and direction where fiscal matters were concerned had deteriorated into serving as something between a figurehead and a rubber stamp,” he writes in his new book, out on Jan. 17.

This is about Trudeau and finance ministers, not women.

So, is Trudeau just too fiscally liberal for his fiscally conservative finance minister picks? I mean, a good finance minister does skew fiscally conservative compared to the rest of their party, regardless of which party they are a member.

I'm probably giving him wayyy too much credit here.

If it really were about the mistreatment of women, Conservatives would be defending him. So yes, absolutely not about women! LOL
