Freeland and Trudeau were reportedly in disagreement over a series of recently-proposed policies by the prime minister designed to address the country’s cost-of-living crisis.

Among them is a cheque of C$250 that the government wanted to send to every Canadian earning less than C$150,000 annually. These cheques were expected to cost the federal government a total of C$4.68b

Seems to me that it would take more the a $250 to weather a cost-of-living crisis or maybe an blanket overhaul of the system as a whole.

Of course having trump in office in the US will not help at all.
