Trudeau says he's 'proud of Canadians' in video posted on his last full day in office | CBC News

This might not be a popular opinion here, but I'm really not all that hurt by the fact that he didn't try to go through with the electoral reform stuff. I don't think it's going to have enough support to have a chance of passing until we spend another couple of decades or so dancing around it. Backing off a campaign promise because you come to the conclusion that it isn't really feasible isn't the worst thing a politician can do (and bulling forward even though you've been repeatedly told it isn't a good idea gets you Donald Trump). That a centrist party made electoral reform a campaign promise at all indicates that the idea is gaining traction, and while faster would be nice, I'll settle for progress in baby steps over no progress at all.

I'm gonna tell you unfortunately that if we did have that, we would have had the conservatives from 2019 onwards soooooo... Yeah, people can be fucking dumb still.

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.
