The Liberal cabinet will head into the second of a three-day retreat today with a lengthy to-do list, including tackling inflation.
Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, along with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, arrive at the Hamilton Convention Centre, in Hamilton, Ont., ahead of the Liberal Cabinet retreat, on Monday, January 23, 2023.
“Lots of work to do,” Trudeau said as he arrived at a meeting Monday with Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland.Families Minister Karina Gould is set to update the situation in passport offices, which were snowed under by passport renewal applications as COVID-19 restrictions eased last year. The Liberals are trailing the Conservatives in most polls of late and the choice of Hamilton for the retreat is electorally strategic as it is in one of the most competitive regions in the country, and one the Liberals must win big in if they want to stay in power.The cabinet was also given a sharp reminder of the loud opposition they face among a group known as the “freedom convoy.”
Most had disbanded by 11 p.m. but at least one protester spent most of the night honking his horn off and on, reminiscent of the air horns from the big rigs that blocked much of downtown Ottawa for three weeks almost a year ago now.Sign up for our newsletter to get breaking news and daily digests sent to your email.This coming weekend will mark the one-year anniversary of the convoy’s arrival in Ottawa.
