At the time, she announced she was stepping down from cabinet and would not run as an MP in the next federal election, whenever that may occur.

A few months later, she was named the incoming CEO of the Rhodes Trust, an Oxford, England-based educational charity. Freeland’s office confirmed she would move to the United Kingdom for the gig, which starts July 1.

She still represents the Toronto riding of University—Rosedale and has not formally announced any plan to resign as a member of Parliament.

    Not too surprising. Canada’s version of Victoria Nuland. The Conservative critique in the article that this is a conflict of interest lands, loathe as I am to agree with anything from that party. She’s clearly not focused on representing the constituents of her riding and should have already stepped down from her role as an MP.
