Freeland isn't even Trudeau's first finance minister to quit. Anybody remember Bill Morneau? His feelings on COVID relief sound a bit similar to Freeland's resignation letter:

Former federal finance minister Bill Morneau says that when it came to COVID-19 pandemic aid policy, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the top advisers in his office favoured "scoring political points" over policy rationales, leading to him feeling like a "rubber stamp" ahead of his "inevitable" resignation.

“My job of providing counsel and direction where fiscal matters were concerned had deteriorated into serving as something between a figurehead and a rubber stamp,” he writes in his new book, out on Jan. 17.

This is about Trudeau and finance ministers, not women.
