Trudeau selective in concern for jobs

“Jobs, jobs, jobs,” said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau when expressing his concern about potential loss of some jobs in Canada.

“Jobs, jobs, jobs,” said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau when expressing his concern about potential loss of some jobs in Canada. The problem is, he is more concerned about 9,000 jobs in a crooked company in Quebec than he is, or ever was, about 20,000-plus jobs lost in Alberta.

This narrow focus, fostered by fiscal cronyism (a practice honed into a fine skill by many Liberal governments) makes the current government less acceptable as the voice for the whole country.

My assessment of Trudeau’s major priorities is: First, his personal self-image; second, the Liberal Party; and third, the country of Canada. Let us hope the fiasco brewing in Ottawa over SNC-Lavalin will bring this realization to many, many more 91ԭs.
