​Wayward liberal: On Justin Trudeau

The Hindu  

Justin Trudeau’s rise and fall as a global progressive icon is representative of the crisis of liberalism in general. Born a child of privilege and power — his father Pierre Elliott Trudeau was Prime Minister for 15 years — Mr. Trudeau had rhetoric that was music to the ears of the global liberal elite, but his sense of the country’s public mood has been poor. As his unhinged liberalism translated into unchecked policies of the federal government, Canadians turned against him and the Liberal Party collapsed into a low point in its history, with its popularity now barely touching 15%. Mr. Trudeau said he hoped his exit would arrest the decline of the Liberal Party but that sounds overly optimistic. By escalating tensions with India on suspicion of Indian agents being involved in the murder of a Khalistani activist in Canada, Mr. Trudeau showed poor statesmanship and diplomacy.
