One thing you can say about Justin Trudeau — he’s not a prime minister you can easily accuse of pandering to his base. When loyal Liberals meet for their big biennial convention in Halifax next month, for instance, Trudeau is expected to pop in only for the last day of events. Liberals of a certain vintage have been grumbling about this back-of-the-hand treatment ever since Trudeau came to power — rightly and wrongly, in my view. Some say they’re expressing their displeasure by withholding donations or their volunteer work; others say they’re going to skip next month’s convention. In a little over a year, Trudeau is going to need loyal Liberals — of all ages — to help him win another election.
