Submitted by Geoffrey Stevens on Mon, 06/12/2017 - 08:52The challenge facing Justin Trudeau and the Liberal government this summer has come like a bolt of lightning. It has come out of nowhere – or out of nowhere foreseeable when Trudeau was elected in October 2015, from a direction that was barely foreseeable as recently as 12 months ago.
The challenge can be stated in two words. No, those two words are not “deficit spending” or “electoral reform” or “Syrian refugees” or “gender parity” – words that now seem so 2015. The two words are simply “Donald Trump.”
