A commentary analyzes the successes and failures of Justin Trudeau's tenure as leader of the Liberal Party of Canada, highlighting his campaign strategy, domestic policies, and international relations.
A commentary by a 2015 Liberal candidate in Esquimalt-Saanich-Sooke who ran for the Greens in the 2019 federal election.
Campaigning on middle-class tax cuts, electoral reform, the legalization of marijuana, phasing out fossil fuel subsidies, and moderate “short term” budget deficits, the Liberals won a big majority. Similarly, when COVID-19 struck, the Trudeau government responded well, following the advice of professional public health experts to ensure that Canada avoided the carnage experienced by countries led by conservative demagogues and buffoons, like in the United States and United Kingdom.
• The “Cash for Access” fundraising scandal, featuring Chinese government influencers, confirmed the strong sense that Trudeau was hopelessly naive, or worse, on China. The ugly Liberal members of Parliament finally gave up on Trudeau in December. Most Canadians have known for a couple of years that no one was listening to Trudeau’s breathy rhetoric any more and nothing would change that fact — not Team Trudeau blame-shifting to cabinet ministers, not Pierre Poilievre’s pandering, policy-free negativity, and certainly not Trump’s swivel-eyed social media attacks on Trudeau and Canada.
