Conservative pundits and their witless leader have already twisted Chrystia Freeland’s (totally foreseeable and unsurprising) resignation “in the coming weeks” to pursue an unpaid (!!) role supporting Ukraine’s war rebuild efforts, and it’s got me frustrated.

In major Canadian politics news today, Conservative leader (for now?)
