HALIFAX—There was one unusually candid moment as a parade of Liberal ministers went before cameras at a cabinet retreat in a soulless downtown conference centre.
Immigration Minister Marc Miller, a friend of the prime minister’s, knew he’d be asked about the party’s prospects under Justin Trudeau and whether the Liberals had learned any lessons from a summer of talking to cranky voters or from the fluid presidential race south of the border.
Miller’s blunt answer: Sure. But it’s not for public discussion.
