TORONTO – I feel sorry for Trudeau. Nothing in his campaign seems to resonate with the general public. Every step his campaign designs instead appears counter-intuitive and “testy”. In fact, fewer and fewer people are willing to “cut him any slack”. It seems only yesterday that the easy solution to the country’s ills was a simple selfie of the Liberal leader.

Dopo lo scioglimento del Parlamento, i liberali detenevano 35 seggi in Quebec, rispetto ai 32 del BQ. Giorni dopo il primo dibattito in lingua francese e in vista dei dibattiti di questa settimana sia in francese che in inglese, sembra che un’altra vittoria per i liberali potrebbe essere assicurata nel distretto elettorale di Alfred-Pellan…
TORONTO – Le campagne elettorali sono sempre piene di sorprese. Si sarebbe tentati di pensare che si tratti di questioni che ruotano attorno a COME uomini e donne impegnati in politica darebbero forma al nostro futuro.
