Former NDP leader Tom Mulcair says Canada is facing critical issues that need an active, engaged federal government right now; but Prime Minister Trudeau seems to be running out the clock before the next election.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau takes part in a fireside chat with Michael Sheldrick, co-founder and Chief Policy, Impact and Government Affairs Officer at Global Citizen during a Global Citizen Now event on the sidelines of the G20 Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on Nov. 17, 2024 In it, he blamed Canada’s immigration crisis on: the pandemic, provincial premiers, colleges and universities, “big box stores” and, maybe a teeny, tiny bit, his own government.
We are blessed to live in a place that is peaceful and prosperous and where voters get to decide who will govern them.The recognition, by most Canadians, that colonialism and racism towards Indigenous Canadians, in particular the residential school system, is a stain on our collective history is encouraging for our shared future. Real compensation by the federal government has been part of a path to reconciliation.
Trudeau, of course, knows the consequences of a shuffle: in addition to pleasing the new members of cabinet, he’d create a far greater number of disappointed and dissatisfied MPs who thought they’d be next in line to be named ministers. Trudeau is cornered, but is unwilling to let the people decide. He’s grasping onto power thanks to an NDP that has been embarrassing as it continues to support the Liberals, come hell or high water.
There are pressing issues that need an active, engaged federal government that is a willing partner of the provinces on key issues like healthcare, energy, environment and housing. Maybe that’s the point: Trudeau is playing the clock, either to his eventual successor’s total disadvantage, or to satisfy himself.
