Tom Mulcair: Within an hour of the announcement of the Trudeaus’ separation, social media was full of vile commentary
The separation of Justin Trudeau and Sophie Gregoire Trudeau is, first and foremost, a very difficult moment for Canada’s “First Couple” and their children. They’ve asked for and deserve the time and the space to deal with this personal situation that will have repercussions well beyond their family.
It’s also an opportunity to think about the pressures elected officials, in all orders of government, face and how we can better reconcile work and family in politics, generally.
Tom should ask himself why people hold politicians in such contempt.
