Rex Murphy: It came upon us rather suddenly, but all things considered, it was surely no surprise. I refer to the joyous political nuptials of NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who are still in the honeymoon phase of their relationship.
When the coalition — a word of some distaste to the parties that have publicly … what is the word … convened (Liberals are unsurpassed conveners) — came together and the parties put their fortunes and futures in each other’s hands, there was originally some curiosity about what it all meant. But surely that was obvious.
It gave both leaders a path to “correct” the results of Trudeau’s COVID election. It is now known that when the strategy wizards in the Prime Minister’s Office first suggested the idea of this grossly premature election, the auguries consulted gave promise of a majority government.
