Trudeau treads time-honoured path with TSN everyman routine Globe_Sports
The backup beeper in Mr. Trudeau’s mind kicked off – “ … Ultimately, you have to make your own decision as the decision-maker …”We get what’s happening here. The Prime Minister is in trouble. His bona fides as a normal, relatable guy are in doubt. He needs to assure people that he is the sort of guy who would walk into your local drinking establishment and order a Bud, not some kombucha-tinted, oak-casked, pumpkin pale ale. And especially not out of season.
The more Mr. Trudeau pandered and fantasized , the more it occurred to you that when it comes to hockey, Mr. Trudeau is no Stephen Harper. He’s just barely a Wilfrid Laurier, and Laurier ran things before there was an NHL. From Robert Stanfield appearing to catch a football with his crotch to Stockwell Day pulling up on a jet ski like some hillbilly James Bond, there is no more effective vehicle for political comedy than sports. And yet our pols return to it again and again.
But as the media cordon closes in, he could not avoid heading for the safe harbour of hockey. Then he could not avoid speaking in a gentle, lecturing tone to five of the highest-profile hockey commentators in the country.
