The root cause of these multiple conversions on the road to Damascus and increasingly bizarre statements is, of course, the demands of cabinet and caucus solidarity within an incumbent government and the power of the prime minister’s office.

Our politicians actually do think we’re stupid

Politicians will say and do anything to get elected, happily contradicting their previous positions on a moment’s notice

How the Liberals’ capital gains tax reforms they said were necessary to fund social programs, in order to prevent Canada from falling into a dystopian nightmare, were in fact a bad idea that should be killed. (Freeland)

How the Liberals lost touch with the public and are no longer trusted because they failed to engage it on issues people actually cared about. (Gould)
