Trudeau is not the sharpest knife in the drawer and he made sure that his cabinet reflected that by “equity” appointments ie. not the best person for the job, but the person who was the right sex, ethnicity, race, whatever. They also had to be Yes men, as reflected by his ousting of anyone who pushed back on him.

He didn’t the job on merit and none of his cabinet appointments did either. That’s how we find ourselves in the situation we’re in.
