Canadian Transport and Internal Trade Minister Chrystia Freeland announced her resignation from Prime Minister Mark Carney's cabinet and will not seek re-election. She will instead become Canada's Special Representative for the Reconstruction of Ukraine. Freeland, a prominent figure in Canadian politics since 2015, served as finance and foreign affairs minister and deputy prime minister. Her resignation follows her instrumental role in the downfall of former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau last year. Freeland cited personal reasons, emphasizing her gratitude for public service, and encouraging women's participation in politics.
