Trudeau refuses to listen to Canadians clamouring for him to leave
Chrystia Freeland gave a press conference Tuesday. The finance minister was looking pretty rocky. She had the appearance of someone who’d convinced herself she had a happy, idyllic marriage, only to bump into her husband at the grocery store, shopping with his other family.
Earlier in the day she’d learned the bad news. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s happy marriage with appreciative Canadians was over. They’d cheated on him.
As local residents went to the polls in the usually safe Liberal riding of Toronto-St. Paul’s on the day before, Freeland had warned them they faced a stark choice “between two visions of Canada, two sets of values.”
“I really want to encourage people to vote for our outstanding Liberal candidate, Leslie Church. What she stands for is the values we are talking about here today,” she said on Monday.
Values like investing in Canada. Working as a team. “Where we all work together to defend and support the national interest.”
The alternative, she warned, was “really cold and cruel and small. The alternative is cuts and austerity, not believing in ourselves as a country, not believing in our community and our neighbours.”
