Chrystia Freeland is a well-known Canadian politician and the current Deputy Prime Minister of Canada. Born on August 2, 1968 in Peace River, Alberta, Freeland first made a name for herself as a journalist.
After completing her Bachelor’s degree at Harvard University and her Master’s at St Antony’s College, Oxford, Freeland worked for several prestigious news outlets such as The Financial Times, The Washington Post, and The Globe and Mail. She gained recognition for her in-depth coverage of financial and economic issues, and was even awarded the Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting in 1999.
However, Freeland’s career took a different turn when she entered politics in 2013, winning the by-election for the Liberal Party in Toronto Centre. Her impressive background in journalism and economics made her a valuable asset in the political landscape. In 2015, she was appointed as the Minister of International Trade and played a significant role in negotiating the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement with the European Union.
In 2017, Freeland was appointed as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, becoming the first woman to hold this position in Canada. She has tackled various international issues, including the renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement and the ongoing crisis in Venezuela.
