Conrad Black: Trudeau's hollow victory leaves the real issues facing this country unresolved

In relation to his victory, it was indicated that Trudeau won with momentum, an illusion of fading fashion, topics of fashion and style, and no first-rate achievement.

That being the case, there is no doubt that it would have been difficult to produce a more miserable election result. Despite his re-election, it is clear that the prime minister was spiritually attacked and persevered until victory despite some recent serious changes.

Consequently, there are many opinions regarding his re-election, many of them are certainly hard. Thus, it has been indicated that his victory is hollow, his ambiguous mandate, and his performance on election night was far from reassuring. Likewise, one could say that he benefited from a divided opposition that had no panache between the traditional parties.

Naivety? Something unacceptable

Importantly, Canada has less than two percent of the world’s carbon footprint. Likewise, Canada has one of the cleanest environments in the world and has no real influence on the global environment. It is a fashion ignored by China and India, the main polluters, and by the United States and Japan, major industrial powers that have adequately addressed their environmental problems, and Australia, which is the country most similar to Canada in terms of size, resources and history , and that it has maintained a rational concern for the environment but has rejected fetishist economic primitivism. Consequently, it is distressing that Canadians have naive tendencies to accept it.

However, it is necessary to talk about Canada’s biggest problems such as capital flows and national unity. In this way, it is considered that there is a torrid flight of investment capital in Canada, as the world stays away and Canadians invest capital elsewhere. The underestimation of Canadian federalism will soon appear in Quebec and Alberta.

Canada will pay a high price for the refusal of Stephen Harper and Justin Trudeau to do anything to obtain Quebec’s accession to the Canadian Constitution, a condition that Mulroney attempted to correct with the Meech Lake agreement and the Charlottetown Agreement, and that the former Quebec federalist government of Philippe Couillard tried to address.
