OTTAWA — A Toronto Liberal MP dismissed the ongoing chatter about Finance Minister v as “whispers in the shadows” and compared it to sports commentators looking to fill airtime during the off-season.

James Maloney, a former Ontario Liberal caucus chair, came to Freeland’s defence on Monday during a housing announcement.

“We’re standing in Toronto. We’re in a hockey town. It’s the off-season. So, what do people do? They spend all their time speculating on whether John Tavares or Auston Matthews should be the No. 1 centre. The focus we have is on the team,” he said.
