If you think you’re coming off a bad week, consider poor Justin Trudeau over the past seven days.

The PM has been called out by powerhouse lawyer Marie Henein over his fake feminism, the Norman trial blew up in his face and in the media and the auditor general issued a report showing his government failed to properly handle the border crisis.

I’m only scratching the surface because I’ll be open and frank, I was away all last week trying not to pay attention to news here in Canada.

Yet, despite my best efforts to devote my full attention on beautiful cities and medieval castles in places like Waterford and Kilkenny over in Ireland, the news punched through.

I was able to ignore — at first — the auditor general’s report on the processing of asylum claims where interim auditor Sylvain Ricard pointed out the massive delays in the system due to poor government management.

“People seeking asylum in Canada wait about two years for decisions from a rigid system that can’t adjust to volume spikes,” the report stated.

And we all know there have been spikes over the past three years, including more than 40,000 people that have flooded the system by using an illegal border crossing from the United States.

Throughout that time, the PM has assured the whole country there was no impact on the system, that the system was working as it should. So why then are people waiting 2 years for a decision instead of the requirement that most cases be heard within 60 days?
