Chrystia Freeland, originally from Peace River, Alberta, Canada, is a renowned journalist, author, and politician. Her impressive career has spanned across multiple industries, but it was her foray into television that solidified her as a force to be reckoned with. Freeland’s journey to the small screen began in the early 1990s when she started working for The Financial Times in London. She quickly climbed the ranks, becoming its deputy editor and then moving on to various other prestigious publications, including The Economist and The Globe and Mail.

In 2011, Freeland joined the ranks of the newly launched Bloomberg TV Canada as its managing editor and host of her own show, “Freeland File.” It was here where she truly established herself as a formidable television host, delving into pressing political and economic issues with her signature charisma and poise. Her show became a must-watch for business leaders, policymakers, and Canadians across the country. Freeland’s popularity and success on television eventually led to her transition into politics, where she currently serves as the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance for Canada.
