10 years later, Justin Trudeau’s ‘sunny ways’ are a distant memory

Somewhere this weekend, some federal Liberals may quietly mark an anniversary that many wouldn’t have predicted they would get to enjoy while still in power.

Ten years ago on Sunday, Justin Trudeau led his third-place party to a majority government, with promises of ”sunny ways” and the conviction that “better is always possible.”

Politics being politics, those feel-good slogans didn’t age all that well. Majority victories have eluded the Liberals in the subsequent decade and the most recent polls show that even with new leader Mark Carney, the party is still locked in a tight race with Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives.
