Trudeau appears adept at saying sorry for past wrongs (Next up: LGBTQ) but less able to deliver on substance. First Nations are disillusioned with the Liberals (failure to deliver on the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, 94 "calls to action" made by TRC), he bailed on promised electoral reform, is a no-show in parliament and wants to enact measures to stifle debate in the HoC, and has thrown his west coast MPs to the wolves over Trans Mountain. Undoubtedly he is "pacing" himself, back end loading the mandate with good news for the weeks before the next election. Meanwhile, words, not deeds, will define his government.
