    I’m a proud Canadian, but I’d be even more proud if we had the electoral reform he explicitly promised in his first campaign. He accomplished some good things, but fuck we coulda used that.

    For all of his many shortcomings (which, yes, there are a lot of them and many of them are pretty awful), I’m proud of how he’s handled this. I hope that he enjoys a peaceful and happy retirement with his family.

      I think what had frustrated me is that the criticisms of him that matter half as much for more coverage than the ones that were twice as important.

      A lot of the scandals were fully non issues too (I’ll die on the hill that WE was not Trudeau’s fault, the blame lies squarely on the public service And their procurement policies).

      Lots of good, lots of bad, with any leader we should not get caught up trying to make Trudeau’s legacy black and white. We need to dig into the moments and decisions and impacts of all of it through as many lenses as possible to do better.
