Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland chose a pair of black pumps from Simon’s for her 2023 Budget address.

You give up Disney plus and you can get new shoes.
😂😂😂😂😂👍
You beat me to it. 🙂
We are bust and she shops, clueless
She should apply for MAID they give you the cutest shoes.
You are going to get BIll-C11’d.
Freeland getting new heels is not news worthy.
This has been a tradition for finance ministers to buy new shoes when introducing a budget. Previous finance ministers have done this as well. The shoes are supposed to be reflective of what the budget will be.
@RetrogradingPhoenix context is helpful, it would have been nice to include that in the video
@RetrogradingPhoenix Then she should be going barefoot or in Walmart sneakers. This type of stuff is a slap in the face for Canadians. Just means they get everything while we pay for it.
@J F You are supposed to know that. You been living in a closet?
I honestly think the sneakers are more reflective of the upcoming budget. Lol
More like bare feet
@Michael S with bunions they can’t find a doctor to treat
What an authentic and genuine moment 🙄
Bobblehead on a shopping spree.
Barf
Please, where’s the thumbs down button? Did they hide it?😅😅
Just on you.
33 to 334 dislikes fyi
While the self-serving government entertains itself, I can’t move out of my apartment and away from my noisy neighbours. I’d have to spend an extra $1,000 to live in a similar place. That’s how this government spends its time dealing with the housing problem?!
You mean that extra $200 we are going to get won’t help?
@Tempus Fugit banned
@Peter Vigna lol.
It’s all Funny money , Paper bills backed by AIR ,
@Level Z animations I want to agree with you I just know that my landlady is struggling with all of these housing costs especially the utilities
New episode of What Not to Wear, Canadian version 😂
When she’s wearing shoes that are worth more than my paycheck 😢
Time for you to step up.
that’s the point, they want to anger the public
@Terence Harris haha I saw what you did there lol
you make less then 100 a week? now you’re the problem here, no one else
they funny thing is, aside from how messed up this is, is that the shoes are actually expensive!
great investigative journalism, no wonder you never dig into real stories
Shopping for shoes while 1.5 million ppl rely on the food bank. “Democracy”
That’ s so nice…Just thought the rest of Canadians are going to the thrift shops to find our next shoes. A bit of a difference!!!!!!!!!!!!
LET ME BE CLEAR Along with my grocery rebate I think we all need a fuel rebate and a rent rebate and a medical rebate ect. In this once great country called Canada EH.
How about instead of all these rebates, we just axe the income tax.
I’d be of a mind to axe sales tax as well.
Before anyone argues, Canada did not have an income tax prior to WW1 and we had roads and schools.
Those things were donated.
The type and style of shoe that the finance minister buys for the buget tells what it really is. Seems that high times for spending are here to stay. Spiked heel and pointed toe. Rounded toe and flat heal would have meant a working budget for the future.
How out of touch do you have to be to film yourself getting new heels from Simons (mid-high end department store) while Canadians try to afford their next grocery store run or gas.
Don’t forget to pay up!
“Let them have cake” Freeland says.
Don’t like the women, don’t trust the budget that is about to come out. But lets be honest, I really find that casual shopping video really cool. Shoes works great for her! Regardless I don’t like her, I really wish she will hit it well with this budget. Christ, we all need it!
This is the most deeply intellectual news story I have seen in a long time.
The Minister of Finance has symbolically downgraded the type of footwear that she will wear when presenting the budget as a meaningful gesture to Canadians. Although she and the Liberal Party do not need to think about monetary policy, Canadians can be assured that she is better than since she cares enough to have walked a day our shoes.
