Federal finance minister, who does not own a car, fined for speeding
Chrystia Freeland was fined $273 for going 132 km/h on an Alberta highway
Freeland was caught driving 132 km/hr between the towns of Grande Prairie and Peace River and has paid the ticket in full, her spokesperson Katherine Cuplinskas said.
Cuplinskas did not say when the incident occurred and what the speed limit had been on that stretch of road. The maximum speed limit on Alberta highways is 110 km/hr.
The news was first broken by the website Counter Signal.
Freeland, who is also deputy prime minister, represents the central Toronto riding of University–Rosedale and is often photographed on her bike.
"A fact that still shocks my dad is that I don't actually own a car," she told reporters last month.
"I walk, I take the subway. My kids walk and ride their bikes and take the subway — it's actually healthier for our family."

Dear David,
The Counter Signal continues to be at the forefront of the news cycle. No other outlet seems to care to hold Justin Trudeau and his government to account. Here is the breaking news that we are reporting, exclusively:
🚔 The Fast and the Freeland:
Why was Chrystia Freeland driving at such perilous speeds? Captured by Alberta Sheriffs going over 140km per hour, one wonders what could've justified such recklessness. This incident casts a shadow over her judgment and decision-making. Read the full story here.
She’s also taking 10 minute private jets to substitute for 30 minute drives and creating 100 times more pollution than if she drove or 10000 times more pollution than if she actually biked like she said she does lol
