Rex Murphy: The prime minister darts around like a summer fly, off to useless summits one day, on a European photo-op mission the next, drops in to Ukraine to pose with Madame Joly for the obligatory photo with the beleaguered Volodymyr Zelenskyy, flits back home for a while, off to Calgary, back to Nova Scotia (the quotient of apologies must be maintained), then on to Ontario for an EV announcement, and then off to a police-guarded lunch in Montreal.
Justin Trudeau could be in rehearsal for Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.
The widely regarded brain-trust of the Trudeau cabinet — this would be Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland — does her best to abrade that distinction by noting that high and accelerating prices at the pumps aren’t so bad because they are “a reminder of why climate action is so important.”
