“#It’s raining, it’s pouring, the PM names a cabinet<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n Image of the week: Justin Trudeau strolled up to Rideau Hall, umbrella in hand and storms brewing. It was a world apart from the happ<\/a>ier times of 2015.\n <\/div>\n
\n In 2015, Canada\u2019s new, youthful prime minister led his gleefully optimistic and diverse cabinet on a golden march under clear blue skies. He famously decreed that \u201csunny ways<\/a>\u201d and positive politics were the keys to his success. Cut to six years and two elections later, and Justin Trudeau\u2014now a grizzled veteran who\u2019s barely survived multiple scandals and lost the popular vote in two straight elections\u2014walks alone with his wife on a grey and drizzly autumn morning, introducing a social<\/a>ly distanced cabinet after shuffling\u00a0numerous high-profile ministers out from damaged portfolios. Gone are the sunny ways, after Trudeau aggressively attacked Erin O\u2019Toole to eke out a minority victory just weeks ago; gone is the proclamation that \u201cWe\u2019re back<\/a>\u201d on the world stage, after stalemates with the U.S.,\u00a0fiascos in India and three years of agonizing hostage diplomacy with China; gone are the promises of \u201creal change<\/a>\u201d after the pandemic really changed everything without Trudeau\u2019s help. Multiple clouds are hovering over the PM\u2019s latest cabinet. He and his ministers are facing lofty expectations to define themselves and justify their victories. No doubt, more storms are coming. At least the PM brought an umbrella.
