Freeland believes her resignation led to better outcome for Trudeau, allowing him to exit before likely defeat

Chrystia Freeland, the ex-finance minister and deputy prime minister, thinks her resignation was a strategic move that helped Justin Trudeau avoid a potentially humiliating defeat. She argues that stepping down when she did allowed Trudeau to exit gracefully amid declining support, rather than facing a likely loss in the future. This move not only preserved Trudeau's legacy but also provided him with a dignified exit. It's a testament to the complex dynamics within political leadership and the often delicate balance between personal ambition and party welfare.
