克里斯蒂亞·弗里蘭從杜魯道政府辭職，加拿大陷入政治危機

週一早上，賈斯汀·特魯多的財政部長兼副總理克里斯蒂亞·弗里蘭以一種蓄意造成最大政治損害的方式辭去了內閣職務，賈斯汀·特魯多的總理職位和他的自由黨政府命懸一線。

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government is on the brink of collapse after his Finance Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland abruptly resigned from the cabinet on Monday morning in a move designed to inflict maximum political damage.

週一上午，加拿大總理賈斯汀·特魯多的財政部長兼副總理克里斯蒂亞·弗里蘭突然辭去內閣職務，此舉旨在造成最大的政治損失，其政府正處於崩潰的邊緣。

Freeland, who was set to deliver the government's fall economic update, which is akin to a mini-budget, on Monday afternoon, instead released a public resignation letter attacking Trudeau for engaging in "costly political gimmicks"—a reference to token measures to help ordinary Canadians cope with soaring prices—rather than deeper austerity in preparation for a potential trade war with a Trump-led America.

弗里蘭原定於週一下午發布政府秋季經濟更新（類似於迷你預算），但他發布了一封公開辭職信，攻擊杜魯道從事「代價高昂的政治花招」——指的是像徵性的幫助措施。

"The incoming administration in the US," declared Freeland, "is pursuing a policy of aggressive economic nationalism, including a threat of 25 percent tariffs.

弗里蘭宣稱：「美國即將上任的政府正在推行激進的經濟民族主義政策，包括威脅徵收 25% 的關稅。

"We need to take that threat extremely seriously. That means keeping our fiscal powder dry today, so we have the reserves we may need for a coming tariff war …

「我們需要極其嚴肅地對待這一威脅。這意味著我們今天要保持財政充足，這樣我們就有了應對即將到來的關稅戰所需的儲備......

"That means," she continued, "pushing back against ‘America First’ economic nationalism with a determined effort to fight for capital and investment and the jobs they bring."

“這意味著，”她繼續說道，“堅決反對‘美國優先’的經濟民族主義，爭取資本和投資以及它們帶來的就業機會。”

As Freeland's now forsaken political titles suggest, she has been considered Trudeau's most important minister for most of his nine years in office. In addition to leading the Canadian effort to renegotiate the terms of NAFTA, the US-led North American trade bloc, during Trump's first term, Freeland has been the government's leading Ukraine war hawk. For that reason, she was once championed by Washington as a potential NATO Secretary-General. Freeland, whose grandfather was a prominent far-right Ukrainian nationalist Nazi collaborator, has a lifelong association with the Ukrainian Canadian Congress, which has served as a key link between Ottawa and the political descendants of Stepan Bandera and other Nazi collaborators, who infest Ukraine's US-NATO proxy government and military apparatus.

正如弗里蘭現已被放棄的政治頭銜所表明的那樣，在杜魯道執政九年的大部分時間裡，她一直被認為是杜魯道最重要的部長。在川普的第一個任期內，弗里蘭除了領導加拿大重新談判北美自由貿易協定（以美國為首的北美貿易集團）的條款外，還一直是政府主要的烏克蘭戰爭鷹派人物。因此，她曾被華盛頓推崇為潛在的北約秘書長。弗里蘭的祖父是一位著名的極右翼烏克蘭民族主義納粹合作者，他與烏克蘭加拿大國會有著終生的聯繫，該國會一直是渥太華與斯捷潘·班德拉和其他納粹合作者的政治後裔之間的關鍵紐帶，這些人侵擾了烏克蘭的美國-北約代理政府和軍事機構。

In recent weeks there have been press reports of growing policy differences between Freeland and Trudeau. It was also public knowledge that Trudeau was seeking to persuade Mark Carney to enter the government and assume the Finance Ministry, in a desperate bid to shore up big business support for his government. Carney is a former head of the Bank of Canada and Bank of England and currently is the chair of the board of directors of both Bloomberg and Brookfield Asset Management.

最近幾週，有媒體報導弗里蘭和杜魯道之間的政策分歧日益擴大。眾所周知，杜魯道正試圖說服馬克·卡尼進入政府並擔任財政部長，以拼命爭取大企業對政府的支持。卡尼曾任加拿大銀行和英格蘭銀行行長，目前擔任彭博社和布魯克菲爾德資產管理公司的董事會主席。

In the wake of Freeland's resignation, there have been widespread calls from within Liberal ranks for Trudeau to resign, with the number of Liberals MPs ready to publicly urge Trudeau to quit rapidly swelling. When Freeland entered an emergency Liberal caucus meeting Monday evening, she was reportedly greeted with a standing ovation.

弗里蘭辭職後，自由黨內部普遍要求杜魯道辭職，準備公開敦促杜魯道辭職的自由黨議員人數迅速增加。據報道，當弗里蘭週一晚上參加自由黨黨團會議時，全場起立鼓掌歡迎她。

Polls show that were an election to be held today, the official opposition Conservatives would sweep to power, with the Liberals reduced to a tiny rump of MPs. Under Pierre Poilievre, who staked his claim for leadership on being the most strident parliamentary supporter of the fascist-instigated "Freedom Convoy," the Conservatives are rapidly morphing into a far-right party.

民調顯示，如果今天舉行選舉，官方反對黨保守黨將大獲全勝，而自由黨只剩下一小部分議員。皮埃爾·波利耶夫聲稱自己是法西斯煽動的「自由車隊」最堅定的議會支持者，在他的領導下，保守黨正在迅速轉變為極右翼政黨。

The leaders of all three officially recognized opposition parties in parliament called on Trudeau to resign after Freeland quit the government Monday. But tellingly Jagmeet Singh, the head of the trade union sponsored New Democratic Party (NDP), refused to commit his party to bringing down the minority Liberal government, merely blustering, as he has in the past, that “all options are on the table.”

弗里蘭週一退出政府後，議會中所有三個官方承認的反對黨領袖都呼籲杜魯道辭職。但值得注意的是，工會發起的新民主黨（NDP）主席馱勉誠拒絕承諾讓他的政黨推翻少數黨自由黨政府，只是像過去那樣咆哮“所有選擇都擺在桌面上”。

Monday's events in Ottawa unfolded as the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) enforced an edict, issued by the government via the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB), criminalizing a strike by 55,000 Canada Post workers after 32 days.

週一在渥太華發生的事件發生時，加拿大郵政工人聯盟 (CUPW) 執行了政府透過加拿大勞資關係委員會 (CIRB) 發布的一項法令，將 32 天後 55,000 名加拿大郵政工人的罷工定為刑事犯罪。

Among the postal workers there was strong support for defying the back-to-work order, which is the third time in four months that the Trudeau government has criminalized worker job action based on a cooked-up, patently illegal “reinterpretation” of Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code.

郵政工人強烈支持違抗復工令，這是杜魯道政府四個月內第三次根據對第 107 條的砲制、明顯非法的「重新解釋」將工人的罷工行為定為刑事犯罪。

Moreover, with the government discredited and widely hated, and the postal workers fighting for the defence of public services and the right to strike and other issues of vital concern for all workers, objective conditions for rallying the working class behind the postal workers could hardly have been more favourable. That is precisely why the CUPW, egged on by the Canadian Labour Congress and the entire trade union bureaucracy, ordered the postal workers to surrender and corralled them back on the job.

此外，在政府名譽掃地、廣受仇恨的情況下，郵政工人為捍衛公共服務和罷工權利以及其他所有工人都關心的問題而奮鬥，團結工人階級支持郵政工人的客觀條件很難具備。這正是為什麼 CUPW 在加拿大勞工大會和整個工會官僚機構的慫恿下，命令郵政工人投降並將他們重新帶回工作崗位。

Since 2019, the NDP, at the unions’ urging, has propped up the minority Liberal government in parliament, as it lurched ever further right. This includes presiding over a murderous profits-before-lives response to the COVID-19 pandemic; massively increasing military spending; backing the genocide of the Palestinians in Gaza and integrating Canada ever more fully into the US-NATO war with Russia and Washington’s military-strategic offensive against China; and enforcing increased worker exploitation through inflation-driven real wage cuts and

自2019年以來，新民主黨在工會的敦促下，在議會中支持了少數黨自由黨政府，因為該政府的右翼傾向越來越嚴重。這包括主持一場針對 COVID-19 大流行的致命的「生前利潤」應對措施；大規模增加軍費開支；支持加薩巴勒斯坦人的種族滅絕，並將加拿大更全面地納入美國-北約與俄羅斯的戰爭以及華盛頓對中國的軍事戰略攻擊；透過通膨驅動的實質工資削減來加強對工人的剝削
