In the safety of his campaign quarters, that is:
The flaw in our current leadership is blatantly clear. Mr. Trudeau is a one-man lighthouse of virtue-signalling for faults not his own. The light dims catastrophically however, when events on an historic scale are mismanaged on his watch. You may put it in a capsule sentence. The calling of this needless election during days of international crisis and pandemic is one of the most careless and self-centred acts of Canadian politics of which we have record.

It’s no coincidence the newest Liberal scare mongering aims to get young people to vote strategically, assuming they’d rather hold their noses and see Trudeau in office than risk an Erin O’Toole win. This ploy worked for Liberals in the past, but there are three big things working against them this time around. First, millennials appear much less antagonistic toward O’Toole than prior Conservative leaders and, as polls show, are even warming up to him. Second, young voters are deeply disillusioned with Trudeau and may just decide any other available option is better than a Liberal threequel. Finally, it’s really hard to play the strategic vote card when the voters you’re attempting to sway resent you for not passing electoral reform and putting them in this position to begin with.
No, he hasn't done anything useful at all, really:
He’s mediocre on trade agreements. He didn’t have enough clout with the Brits to get our fully vaccinated travellers admitted to the U.K. without an isolation period (although as of Monday, they can).
And he can’t buy us new jet fighters or frigates or icebreakers. A strong military is foreign policy by another name. (To be fair, though, every Canadian government mucks up procurement.)
And the cherry on top is he couldn’t even get our own citizens – Canadians! – out of Afghanistan.
Shameful.
This must be embarrassing:
David Coletto, CEO of Abacus Data, is taking issue with claims by the Conservatives that the company has received special treatment from the Trudeau Liberals over party ties.
The Conservatives pointed to 12 contracts worth $576,089 awarded by the government to Abacus Data over the last four years that were not released under the protocols put in place for taxpayer-funded polling.
Accusing the Trudeau Liberals of covering things up and breaking laws in the past, Conservative MP Michael Barrett called for the government to, “immediately release all details about these contracts to reassure Canadians that no laws were broken.”
And this:
Reporters for The Globe and Mail and Global News refused to participate in an off the record discussion with Justin Trudeau on the Liberal campaign plane tonight. There should be no off record talks between leaders and journalists on any of the campaigns. #Elxn44 #cdnpoli
