Any normal human being could have told the Prime Minister it was a terrible idea. Do none work for him?
In the early days, at least, Trudeau’s Liberals had similar world-changing branding. Canada, back, would rise like a phoenix. All Indigenous people would have clean drinking water, every recommendation of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission would be implemented, gay men would be able to donate blood, Canadians in blue helmets would roam the earth, placating warring factions through sheer force of Canadian-ness.
It’s no surprise to see Liberals conflating their own interests with the national interest. That’s what Liberals do, in the same way that birds fly and fish swim I’m oddly fascinated by the WE Day phenomenon: I’ve watched clips online over the years, and once coveredof events in Toronto involving Trudeau, Prince Harry, the Invictus Games, Marc Kielburger, sledge hockey and an arena full of screaming middle-schoolers. Every time I got precisely the same unsettling, vaguely cult-like vibe I got watching those early days of Trudeaumania II. Like, are you people actually listening to what he’s saying? Seriously? For God’s sake, settle down.
To be fair to the screaming kids at WE Days … they’re kids. The adults who saw Trudeau as an agent of epochal change, I’m afraid, have no such excuses. And with this WE debacle, neither does Trudeau. Sophie Grégoire-Trudeau is an official “ambassador of WE well-being,” as well as a “mentor, booster and champion” of the WE organization. She and Trudeau himself have attended several WE events to rapturous receptions. Any normal human being could have told the prime minister that awarding a giant contract to such an organization would set off alarm bells.
