Susan Delacourt: Justin Trudeau and Pierre Poilievre have been humbled this year. Here’s how they win back Canadians
It takes a certain lack of humility to plunge into political life. But long-term survival in politics is a humbling experience, as all the federal leaders and their parties learned once again the hard way during the first half of this year.
If one was looking for just one snapshot over the past half year of just how much Trudeau has had to reckon with humility, it would be his rather remarkable, candid acknowledgment in March: “No matter what I say, people are going to wonder — if they didn’t vote for me — whether or not they can trust me.”
“The Conservatives should reflect on how the byelection results are evidence of uneasiness with the kind of change they are offering,” Coletto says. “Canadians don’t need to be convinced that they want or need change. They need to be convinced that change will make a difference, and that it will lead to different and better outcomes for them and their families. Just because people want change, doesn’t mean they will vote for it.
If humbling is indeed the theme, perhaps the most searing example of that came with what happened to David Johnston, the former governor general appointed to advise Trudeau on how to get to the bottom of the foreign interference issue. Johnston, who could rightly boast he was one of Canada’s most eminent statesmen when he accepted the post, was essentially chased out of his job by the angry-mob-style partisanship that has come to characterize political debate in this country.
