Meet the new Liberals. Same as the old Liberals

A central theme of the Liberal leadership race, based on what the candidates are saying, is that they all represent a new iteration of the party and are not like those other Liberals who have been in power for close to a decade and who, you know, got so much wrong.

And that’s fine. Front-runners Chrystia Freeland and Mark Carney are perfectly welcome to try to distance themselves from a deeply unpopular government and label themselves as outsiders with fresh ideas. That’s politics.
