Yes and no. Freeland was definitely behind the change in foreign policy. Her hate for Putin and Russia, is probably the #1 driver. I can't find them anymore, likely scrubbed, but she was involved in the 2014 Ukrainian "revolution/coup". As a former journalist, it wouldn't surprise me if she's an intel asset, whether ours or the US. She's the likely successor but she's tainted, she was finance minister for most of the destruction of our economy.
Trudeau hand picked a lot of long time family and personal friends. Both to be elected and into cabinet roles, the current Finance Minister that replaced Freeland was Trudeau's babysitter.
He then put all sorts of personal friends in unelected advisor roles, making a lot of the day to day decisions. All of which are beholden to a variety of special interest groups. A lot like Biden the past 4 year's. I think he let them all run in different directions. Why one day he'd pander to the Jewish community and next the Hamas supporters.
