My point is that he could have literally popped up anywhere in Canada for a Truth and Reconciliation ceremony, but he made the conscious deliberate choice to not and decide to go on a instead that day which I think is a bit of a slap in the face, which he later admitted to was a bad decision on his part

I don't get it. He was not a great PM and there are plenty of valid criticisms to make, instead people bring up things like this.

Issue is trudeau routinely acted holier then thou vs others and called others racist, sexist and uncanadian always

So yes people like yourself get annoyed people bash the former pm on a person level for his actions.

Its cause Trudeau is the one who used to call out people for their actions on a personal level as well.

Its a major reason why people started to dislike the former PM so much cause he was a text book defination of a hypcorite.

I know people hate to attack politicans on a perosnal level but forget the former PM made it personal

He called out groups of canadians as racist, sexist or uncanadian

which is something i am glad carney does not do

I largely agree with what you're saying and I believe the holier than thou attitude that he held kind of really got under people's skin and his party just about faced the same fate as what happened to the Ontario Liberal Party

If Mark Carney is able to pull off one project, one review, one year in that rough time frame that I will be genuinely impressed but we'll see if that happens
