March 4: Trudeau as bad as Trump? Plus other letters to the editor GlobeDebate
So Margaret Wente is ashamed for her country. Really? And she thinks that The New York Times columnist who believes Prime Minister Justin Trudeau may be “more corrupt than Donald Trump” may have a point? Let’s just compare and contrast the degrees and motivations of the alleged acts of corruption.
Like the proverbial sausage factory, politics is a messy business where you don’t want to see what goes on inside. Pragmatism is an unfortunate necessity to balance interests and keep a large and diverse country running evenly. Admirably, she resigned, and admirably the Prime Minister allowed her to speak her truth. And so we will get the details of what normally goes on behind closed doors.
Well, I’m no more ashamed of my country than I was a few weeks ago. While the whole affair raises some good points for debate, I feel the government did no more than I would expect them to do under the circumstances. The case is arguable, but hardly beyond the pale, and I’d like to know which party, if in government, would have handled it differently.
