• Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government is reeling as he loses top cabinet ministers, including Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland who was set to release a key economic update on Monday.

The article from BNN Bloomberg discusses the significant changes in Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's cabinet, which occurred on the same day as a crucial economic update.
