It is also – by virtually every poll in the last week – turning into a bonfire of vanity for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. A snap election, estimated cost to taxpayers $610 million, according to CTV News, that two-thirds of the country didn’t want, at this time. I don’t need pollsters to tell me that Jagmeet Singh is the most principled and attractive of party leaders – even though he sometimes says really stupid stuff. This is where Canada is headed if not for the rational steering hand of the Liberal party. Thing is, the sour tone of this campaign, the anti-sunny ways, was introduced by Trudeau and he keeps banging that drum.
