In the 50 years or so that I have been following federal politics, PM Trudeau is without doubt, far and away, the biggest disappointment I have ever encountered.

Of course they were going to appoint someone they know.  I mean, they wouldn't appoint a total stranger.  But the blithe arrogance displayed in this hyper-partisan appointment is truly breathtaking.  Utter disdain for the integrity of the office to which this political hack has been appointed.

This country is being let down terribly by its political class; viz. the less than stellar collection of leadership candidates the CPC and NDP put forward as possible alternatives to PM Trudeau.
