Former Canadian Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland has announced her candidacy for Liberal Party leader and Prime Minister, citing concerns about Donald Trump's potential policies towards Canada. During a recent French-language debate, Freeland stated that Trump poses the 'greatest threat to Canada since World War Two,' accusing him of wanting to turn Canada into the '51st state.' She also linked Trump's alleged ambitions to Vladimir Putin's actions in Ukraine. Freeland's resignation as Finance Minister in December triggered Trudeau's announcement to step down as party leader and prime minister. The Liberal Party will vote on March 9 to elect a new leader, who will then lead the party in the general election to be held by October 20.
