Justin Trudeau – messiah to pariah in haste?

I am not a huge fan of politics and less so when it comes to modern day politics of fanatical base over policy. I had a Canadian friend on the phone today who was ranting and raving about their Prime Minister and I reminded him of the last time I saw him in 2013 and he was ranting and raving about their last Prime Minister (Stephen Harper).

Now, I know next to nothing about Canadian politics and probably less about a Justin Trudeau, but in my circa 10 years of living & working in Canada (left there and moved back home nearly 8 years ago) I experienced enough of the government before Trudeau’s and much of the criticisms now levelled against him were similar to those levelled against the previous government. Perhaps it’s a little easy to criticise?

Trudeau’s present critics must be certain they can do better? talk is cheap….

I am not for a minute excusing any of Trudeau’s missteps, BUT, we need to accept there are probably no messiahs out there. If you can find a politician who at least attempts to discuss policy and try to put policy out there like Trudeau has done over the past 5 years, is it perhaps worth overlooking some of the foibles? My friend disagreed and nearly bit my head off, but for me, I accept nobody is perfect and talk is cheap…….
