Conventional wisdom suggests that governments defeat themselves. There is a shelf life of every administration because sooner or later the accumulative negatives outweigh the positives and the populous becomes agitated seeing the same faces providing the same excuses. American author Mark Twain summed up this phenomenon rather colourfully when he observed, “Politicians are like diapers, they need to be changed often, and for the same reasons.”
Justin Trudeau’s government is noted for its scandalous behaviour, but more serious is the fact that its core policies have placed Canadians in a worse position than they were when the Liberals ushered in their “sunny days” in 2015. The Trudeau government’s policy record speaks volumes. Every week there are new facts surfacing and new evidence of deceit or incompetence, or both, that speaks to why Canadians need a change of government in Ottawa.
