Speaking on the condition of anonymity to Today’s WorldView, one Western fund manager with dealings in the Asia-Pacific region scoffed that Ardern"was just a less annoying Justin Trudeau with an easier country to run” — a jab both at her and the Canadian prime minister, another darling of the center left who critics argue has traded too long on his rosy image rather than actual policy achievements.
“Ardern’s performance has been extraordinary — and I believe she will be strongly lauded for it both domestically and internationally,” political commentator Bryce Edwards of Victoria University in Wellington told Reuters. She insisted that the victims “are us” and the “perpetrator is not.” Addressing the suspected shooter, an Australian national now in police custody, she warned: “You may have chosen us — we utterly reject and condemn you.”
