As far as open, accountable government goes, times are difficult indeed
Conservative leadership candidate Erin O’Toole is obviously misinformed about how politics is supposed to be run in what has become semi-officially renamed as “these difficult times,” “these challenging times,” “these uncertain times” or some derivation thereof.
It was brilliant image management, a skill at which the Trudeau Liberals have proven themselves masters. The prime minister didn’t actually have to do anything to get positive feedback, he just had to show up and look serious. The prime minister was, one report indicated, “believed to be the first leader of a G7 nation photographed in solidarity with anti-racism protesters.” Subsequent debate focused largely on distancing rules and whether he was justified in ignoring them.
If that was meant to be reassuring, it fell short of the mark. Here we have a government that’s running up a deficit of $260 billion or so, pushing the debt to almost $1 trillion, and it admits that it’s so unclear on where we’re heading that it can’t even try to set out some parameters for the future.
