Rex Murphy: I have seen the picture of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the teddy bear.
Some people have suggested the photograph of him kneeling solemnly with the bear was staged and could be read as a subtle sign that election time is here.
We should not be having an election at all this soon. It is immoral. There should be a waiting period of at least one year to see the consequences of all the emergency spending indulged in during the pandemic. There should be at least a year to judge how many businesses and jobs have been lost, where they were lost and by whom.
There is no justification — other than power and vanity — for shoving the country into a federal election while everyone is still staggering from the effects of the pandemic: the biggest, most comprehensive and far-reaching event to hit our country and every other one since the world wars. We need time and space to assess it.
