If Trudeau has lost interest in his job, perhaps he should quit

Over his four years as prime minister, it has become noteworthy how often Justin Trudeau faces problems of his own making.

His sanctimony keeps coming back to bite him. Canadians who follow politics have long been aware of the prime minister’s weakness for pious declarations of well-intentioned morality. His success in defeating the Conservative government of Stephen Harper owed much to the stark contrast between Trudeau’s starry-eyed optimism and Harper’s no-fun pragmatism.

It may have seemed at the time that tying himself to a shining idealism offered little to lose for the Liberal leader. Unfortunately, the years since have demonstrated otherwise.

His sanctimony keeps coming back to bite him


Staunch assertions of his devotion to feminism, for instance, ran aground when he found himself faced with a senior female cabinet minister who assiduously refused to cave to his demands that she change her position on a Quebec-based company seeking political help from the government. Jody Wilson-Raybould’s principled stand saw her badmouthed by colleagues, arm-twisted to concede, turfed from her job and ultimately hustled right out of the Liberal caucus by an intransigent Trudeau.

The emergence of photographs of the prime minister prancing around in black- and brown-face on repeated occasions would have been humiliating in any context, but took on a deeply hypocritical aspect given his regular paeans to the glories of diversity and attestations of devotion to Canada’s multicultural nature. He maintained he’d been young and foolish at the time, blind to the insensitivity and insult of his actions, but a less vainglorious person might have held off on the boasting once he cottoned on to the mistakes he’d made.

Construction of the Trans Mountain pipeline, and other energy projects, was never going to be easy given concerns over environmental impacts, but Trudeau greatly complicated the decision he would one day face by trying to play both sides against the middle. While assuring Albertans of his appreciation for the crucial nature of the energy industry, he egged on activists with pledges of support for “social licence” and legislation making it infinitely harder to win regulatory approval for pipeline projects or tanker traffic. His tactics backed the government into a corner when Trans Mountain looked in danger of cancellation, forcing it to purchase the pipeline for $4.5 billion and saddle taxpayers with a project now expected to cost $12.6 billion, up from a previous estimate of $7.4 billion. The political capital expended on that decision only increased the difficulty of rendering judgment on the Frontier mine, a $20.6-billion oilsands megaproject that once again pits the environment against the economy, with Ottawa caught between its past assertions of sympathy and support for both sides.

Of all the prime minister’s stated priorities, none has enjoyed greater prominence than his oft-professed determination to achieve reconciliation with Canada’s Indigenous people. There is no question there is much to atone for in the country’s shoddy historic treatment of native communities, and considerable sympathy for government efforts to right the record. But once again Trudeau finds himself up against his own artlessness.

Once again Trudeau finds himself up against his own artlessness


Canada’s Indigenous community is not a single unified body with universally recognized leadership and established policies. It is a collection of widely differing interests, pressure groups, power points and varying regional, political and economic agendas that are often at odds across geographical regions, and within communities themselves. At the moment, a collection of Indigenous protesters has managed to cause serious disruption to train services across the country by blockading rail tracks. The blockade in Ontario is in sympathy with actions in British Columbia that have been ruled illegal. The B.C. protest was ordered by hereditary chiefs who are at odds with elected Indigenous leaders. Police are reluctant to act against groups that have taken the law into their own hands for fear of making things worse. Canadians are caught in the middle.

The prime minister has been nowhere on this. While deputy prime minister Chrystia Freeland and other cabinet members have struggled to contain the situation, Trudeau has been flying around Africa in search of votes for a temporary seat on the United Nations Security Council, a pet project that few voters would consider a matter of vital importance. At a stop-off in Germany Trudeau allowed that Canada is “a country of laws” and also, of course, that there is “freedom to demonstrate and to protest.”

“Getting that balance right and wrapping it up in the path forward … is really important.”


A protester walks on closed CN Rail tracks on the ninth day of the blockade in Tyendinaga, near Belleville, Ont., on Feb. 14, 2020.
Gee, thanks. And whose job would it be to get that balance right but the prime minister, who has done so much to talk the country into a position where protesters feel free to ignore the courts, and police feel helpless to intervene, all in the name of reconciliation efforts that can only lose public sympathy the longer the spectacle persists.

If Justin Trudeau has lost interest in his job perhaps he should call a leadership vote so someone with greater concern can take on these issues. He would then be free to express his high-minded ideals unhampered by any responsibility for successfully putting them to work.

This article exhibits a fundemental lack of understanding of the job of the PM, it his not his job to rush to every crisis, he has ministers, they go first unless its a mega crisis. When the right conditions exist the PM will be there.

Well somebody has a lack of understanding of the job of PM that's for sure.

And I'm suggesting it is you.

Trump would have fixed this problem. He doesn't care about hurt feelings.
With that beard and tan he looks more and more like his alleged father everyday.

Shiva Scheer is calling on the RCMP to intervene. The problem is every-time the police have used force the Conservatives end up throwing them under a bus. The two most glaring examples are the anti-replacement workers protest in 91 and the G7 of 2010. I attended the 91 protest, Young Conservatives oozed their macho by picking fights with protesters - and got beaten pink by construction workers. The next day, Toronto Police charged the protesters with horses. Chretien repealed the "right to work" law when he became PM.

If Justin isn't to your liking, who do you recommend...an amoral weakling like Peter McKay.

The "Kid" is in way over his head.
I like his look with the beard. A very calculated look to get over with the older voters I presume.

He's already got the younger vote so why not? He's a good looking guy I'll give him that.

It's just when the questions go of script is where he falters. That is where he is not anything like his dad.

His dad could ad lib with the best of them. The ''kid'' well he's just the figure head of those pulling the strings.

If the Liberals just ran Gerald Butts I could accept that but he didn't have that star power that they needed.

He tried to portray the situation as one of “a few activists” being able to shut down “an entire aspect of our economy,” and claimed that those manning the blockades are hurting their own cause. “They’re doing it wrong,” he said.

“For many of these anti-energy activists, this is just a warm-up act,” said Scheer. “This is just a warm-up act for fights like TMX (the Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion project) and Teck Frontier (a proposed $20-billion oilsands mine). In the end, their goal is the shutdown of our entire energy sector.”

Yup. He also told native people to, “check their privilege.”

Everything he said before or after that is instantly cancelled.

He told native people to check their privilege.

Ok. But the only name mentioned in Darts' post was trunp and then he made a reference to "his father", so he must have been referring to trump's father. No other way to interpret it.

He must have learned his refined literary techniques when "he was lived in Montreal".
When I was lived in Montreal,
Maybe he meant that he got angry and was he was livid in Montreal.

Nope makes perfect sense. He's on his way out so he's got nothing to lose.

He's just calling it straight as all.
It’s moments like this that conservatives show us who they really are...not that you were ever fooling anybody in the first place...but still.

:(

Put me down as anti woke then if you are into labels. A pragmatist if you will.
A pragmatist cannot be this far removed from an understanding of the history of the oppression of Native peoples in Canada. Neither would a pragmatist deliberately troll the Native community in this way. Nothing pragmatic about it...so then what is this really about?
