Canada's Liberal Party leader, M-103, has unveiled a flashy campaign video showcasing her as a would-be candidate to take on U.S. president-elect Donald Trump.
The 80-second video kicks off with Freeland mentioning that "Donald Trump doesn't like me very much," before extolling her as a "tough negotiator" who "was a winner" in the last round of trade talks with the U.S.
During Donald Trump's previous administration, Chrystia Freeland headed the Canadian delegation in negotiations to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) with the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA).
The video continues to suggest that federal Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre will "bow down to Trump and betray Canadians."
This moment is crucial," Freeland says, before confirming "I'm running... to fight for Canadians.
On Friday, Freeland made her intention to run official in a brief social media posting, and will host a launch event on Sunday.

At least 10 Liberal MPs, including Health Minister Mark Holland and former Employment Minister Randy Boissonnault, have backed her as their leader.
Emergency Preparedness Minister Harjit Sajjan said he's backing Carney over the weekend.
