Chrystia Freeland is running for the federal Liberal leadership.

In a short release, the former Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister says she’s running to ‘fight for Canada.’

Freeland’s official campaign launch will be Sunday.

She served as Justin Trudeau’s deputy from 2019 until last month, when she resigned due to policy disagreements.

Former Bank of Canada govenor Mark Carney announced his intentions to run for the leadership yesterday.
