Ms. Freeland is vying to become Canada’s next Liberal Party leader and prime minister on Sunday. Her chances could hinge on whether voters consider President Trump’s dislike of her an asset.

Freeland said that in Peace River, well known Conservatives, who have known her all her life, came forward with cheques to help her campaign.

Liberal leadership candidate Chrystia Freeland, speaking at an automotive parts facility north of Toronto on Wednesday, said that if she wins the upcoming Liberal leadership race she would ask fellow candidate Mark Carney to be her finance minister saying she thinks ‘they’d make a great team.
