A couple of weeks ago, Patrick Brown was running to be prime minister of Canada. Now he has signed papers to run for re-election as mayor of Brampton, Ont. This is either a considerable downscaling of his ambitions or a return to a more moderate assessment of his capacity.
Others shake with fear, or affect so to shake, that Poilievre’s leadership would mean the advent of “hard right-wing” politics, and even worse, the arrival of that most ominous atmospheric, the polar vortex of democratic politics — Trumpism — in this sweet and once untroubled dominion. Indeed, Poilievre reminds me of another Conservative politician who stirred in his opponents the most unbalanced criticisms and accusations, and that is Stephen Harper. Another man of mild disposition, considerable powers of articulation, averse to “show” and display, but who nonetheless prompted savage rebuke and denigration from opponents and certain persons in the media.
Poilievre cannot take credit for the morass at Canadian airports. The mountains of baggage he cannot claim as his achievement; the purgatorial congestion, endless delays, heart-breaking cancellations, missed flights and flights that are no more, at Pearson — these are the superb accomplishments of others.
