How did Canada's Justin Trudeau go from 'sunny ways' to political scandal?

4. What a disappointment.

I had medium hopes for Trudeau to at least be a more or less status quo sort of Liberal PM. Not enough to vote for him, mind you, I voted NDP. When he reneged on the electoral reform, I called my MP at her office in Ottawa and here in Toronto. Even so, he seemed to be doing otherwise fine. A mixed bag. I was against Keystone XL, so that was another disappointment, but he handled himself decently well against Trump, and still managed a charming presence on the world stage. Those photos of him with Obama and Nieto at the summit in Ottawa are an amazing example of leaders with a common goal having a good time together while working on important issues (I mean, can you imagine Trump doing anything as goofy and enjoyable as this



But it seems his inexperience is catching up, and it's not clear where this is all going. I'd love to believe that Canada is not willing to elect an openly white supremacist like Sheer, but Toronto elected Rob Ford, Ontario elected Doug Ford, Alberta elected Ralph Klein for years...

The right wing attack machine has had Jagmeet in their sights for ages no, because they knew he was a softer and easier target than Trudeau, and it would be an important foundation to lay before the next election to make him and the NDP less viable. A cynical and underhanded ploy. Still, I feel like if the left in Canada can coalesce around Jagmeet and the NDP, Scheer might suffer too much from attacks from the right from Bernier (who I pray no one will take seriously).

Ugh. What a clusterfuck.
