Justin Trudeau convinced me he was a sunny patriot who’d unify Canada. What I got instead was a cynical culture warrior who smeared opponents as bigots and defamed my country as a genocide state.
There are no term limits in Canadian politics. While this may sound like a boon to ambitious politicians, it’s actually something of a curse, as it allows them to cling to power long after their stars have dimmed and their legacies have been compromised. This is why ex-prime ministers and ex-premiers (Brian Mulroney and Jean Chrétien being two examples from the former category) are relegated to somewhat grubby professional after-lives as corporate pitch men and lobbyists in their dotage.
As one wag put it – “Jonathan Kay confirms he is a bad judge of character”
