NDP Member of Parliament Charlie Angus, who tabled a bill to criminalize the promotion of fossil fuels, has finally hatched a coherent thought — or at least one people agree with.“What the f*ck? How does a prime minister on the eve of a (fall economic) statement we've been waiting for, for months, deep-six his finance minister (Freeland) and think things are going to be normal," said Angus in a CBC video posted to X.Angus was commenting on Monday's drama in Ottawa, where Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland resigned on the same day as the fall economic statement release. The statement revealed a deficit of $61.9 billion for 2023-24 — blowing past the $40 billion guardrail.It was reported Freeland and Trudeau disagreed "about the best path forward for Canada" and the now-in-effect GST/HST tax holiday and the $250 workers' benefit cheques."What concerns me is that we are in this serious crisis facing a Trump administration coming in," said Angus, of President-elect Donald Trump's threat to impose a 25% tariff on Canadian goods entering the U.S."We’ve got a prime minister that is missing in action and now his deputy prime minister, his finance minister has jumped ship? The prime minister needs to show up."
