OTTAWA — Justin Trudeau says he’s taking a lower-profile, more businesslike approach to being prime minister, having concluded that the focus on him and his lofty talk of values during his first mandate obscured his government’s concrete achievements on bread-and-butter issues.
Canadians ultimately re-elected the Liberals but handed them a minority government that will have to work with opposition parties in order to survive. “Even though we did a lot of really big things, it was often hard to get that message out there,” Trudeau said. “I think a lot of the time, politics has become very leader-centric in terms of the visuals,” he said. “This has been the case in Canada for a long time, where people, yes, vote to a certain extent on their local MP but the leader of the political party takes up an awful lot of space.
Refocusing on the team and on “tangible deliverables” is a way to counter populism, he added, “where people no longer feel that their institutions or their government are actually there to deliver for them.”
Where am dat warty melon?
Hasn't started out well for him. Incompetence had raised its ugly head early! 👎🏼🇨🇦
He still doesn't get what a PM should be. Fail.
So his Blackface is now reserved only for State functions?
Lower profile? Oh no, he's not going to be wearing his disguises is he? *shudder*
Quit the con.
It would be great if he was invisible.
Best thing Canada can do is keep this guy directly under the spotlight. He's a snake and it's best you always know what a snake is doing.
Lol 😂
Wonder if it has anything to do with Canada bleeding jobs under the oppressive progressive policies. Losing 71,000 jobs the month before Christmas is a shame.
Canadians not to bright to elect this guy
What, no black face Justin?
What a clown
In other words he is hiding and giving his serf their instructions to ruin Canada
LOL!!!
This guy?
It is time to make strategic decisions for the the better future of Canada. Such requires more thought and quiet.
Blackout?
I heard he promised up to 50% less blackface too! Keep up the good work.
Yeah Ok
So we get 4 years of a 'leader' who is a narcissistic, attention seeking, costume-wearing, flamboyant sock model and NOW he realizes maybe he should try to change. How? Is he changing meds? trudeaumustgo
Resignation would be best, but this is a good start.
Who’s that white guy in the picture? Where’s Trudeau?
You mean dancing the bali and revealing he dressed in blackface numerous times didnt keep this man child from getting reelected then why would he change anything the second time?
Does that mean Trudeau will finally resign from politics? One can only hope!
he's putting his game face on
A disgraced former teacher has no business being in the PM office....the face of a sex offender is not my pm.
He was barely around during first mandate. How many more days off can he take.
Trudeau will let his ministers especially Freeland take the heat. Avoids putting himself in situations where he would attract negative attention.
Even more vacations?
Would be better if he just went away
Ahh, the script writers are changing his character up for the new season.
Not sure he will
Too bad. I liked that he was open like anybody else, showed off his Halloween costumes, shared laughs and tears in front of the cameras. The haters keep trying to use this against him, so unfortunately he has to hide his human side and be 'business only', like all the others.
From Costa Rica.
No idea what that means. Longer vacations?
So a new acting role for Trudeau?
I know for certain, I would never apply for a job with a company where he would be my Manager or where he had vital input.
If he wants a lower profile, Quit !
His middle class involves no border, no middle class! and.... if you were shocked at Don Cherry getting fired.... YOU HAVE NO CLUE
you mean second peopledate
So, no more fancy socks? I'll miss the socks.
What no rock star jetting around the world ? What Sophie pulling on your collar
Justin Trudeau has the face that screams “I love mint chocolate ice cream, now let me tickle you!” Am I right
As he says as he departs on another tax payer funder party bus in the sky vacation ......you can't make this shit up. Is Chauncey Gardiner on steroids !
So, selfies didn't exactly work as a governing tool? Now there is a surprise.
In drama terms it means “let act two begin”.
SO LESS BLACKFACE
One of those new years resolutions that he won't make until February before blowing.
Covert Ops comes to mind
🐂💩🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥☻☻☻☻☻☻
WTF does trust fund boy know about 'business-like'? He's barely held a job let alone run a business.
So he'll try not to be himself? Sounds like a plan. He might have to remove some mirrors in his home...
🤮
To little to late!.
Wow! Great article, great self reflection from Trudeau and the liberal_party. Better late than never. I'm glad he recognizes that most voters don't care about flashy speeches and themes, they want professionalism. I like this new leadership approach in Trudeau 👍
No time for blackface ?
Cause he was a twit
Like simply tweeting on every nonsensical going forward.
Like SNC business like?
That’s wise.
I really don't know what businesses this guys has seen. Most businesses owners I know are workaholics and not 'low-profile'.
Handsomely paid vacation, baby ... thanks to the brain dead zombies who voted for him.
Maybe you guys can do the same by lowering the profile of the ex-Canadian convicted criminal you give so much airtime to!
Will it happen before or after he balances the budget?
Sooooooo... Freeland is our PM now?
Shitty advisers
How is exactly is doing no work and going on vacation 'business-like'?
