Nobody wanted Trudeau

Meh. I thought Justin's team did really well in blunting the economic tsunami that came with covid. I think he took a lot of reasonable steps in the right order, or his team did. He stood up for the cameras and said the words he needed, and there was a feeling of communication and openness that wasn't unilaterally consistent but seemed consistent around covid.

I think he made some errors - to get a list, just see whatever the cons hyper-focused on in an attempt to find some outrage somewhere - but on balance he did well. His last act, resigning at the right time to give Mr Carney a chance to get in and lay down a personality for the cameras, was also I think well done. And if Justin's last effort was to show us a decent alternative to Milhouse, then I'll give him credit for that too.

I'm sorry to hear people abjectly hating on Trudeau, but honestly my biggest beef with him is the lack of voting reform as planned; but given the pandemic, I'll take a Status Quo on that then like I will now given the trade war overshadowing it in importance.
