Trudeau campaign flounders in wake of blackface scandal
The Liberal campaign is one of disarray. It’s reminding me of covering the Paul Martin Liberal campaign of 2005 — the last time the Liberals lost power.
The Liberal campaign is one of disarray. It’s reminding me of covering the Paul Martin Liberal campaign of 2005 — the last time the Liberals lost power.

If Justin Trudeau and the Liberals want to change the channel on how many times he’s dressed up in what even he described as racist blackface costumes, he’s going about it in a strange way.

For the fourth straight day of campaigning, the Liberals made bold policy announcements with about as much detail as his answers about his blackface costumes are vague.

“We’ll ban military assault rifles!” declare the Liberals.

Ok, how? The basic answer is that they will get back to us.

“We’ll cut your cellphone bill!” the Liberals announce.

I like that, but how? Well, don’t worry about the details, they don’t have any.

They’ve done the same with their promise to bring in greater mental health coverage, national pharmacare, and making Canada a country with net zero carbon emissions by 2050.

These are all grand plans, but when you ask Trudeau directly — or his Liberal handlers in the background — on how these proposals will be accomplished, they mutter things about consultations and working with the provinces.

Like I said, it’s like asking Trudeau about blackface — it’s all so vague.
