Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is famous for offering earnest apologies, but one month into the biggest political scandal of his career, there is nary a “sorry” in sight. “I think he failed to show true contrition,” said Janet Brown, an independent pollster and political analyst based in Calgary, Alberta. Trudeau responded to the Globe report by telling the news media that his government did not “direct” her on the matter. He denied wrongdoing but acknowledged a breakdown of trust between Trudeau and his cabinet. At Thursday’s news conference, Trudeau picked up this theme, saying Wilson-Raybould should have come to him if she felt pressured.
