Trudeau separates from wife
Justin Trudeau has announced his separation from his wife. I wonder whether this will have any effect on his hopes for re‑election.

My bet is you’ve got cause and effect backwards there.

You mean that his intention to campaign for re-election may have brought an end to his marriage?

No, I think that they decided that he can’t win or that he won’t run so now is the time.

Honestly, I think they have been separated for a long time, they just didn’t announce it publicly.

It never crossed my mind to think about it. Now I think he seems to be following in his father’s footsteps, even though his wife has apparently been a much more level‑headed person than his mother.

@Kate, everything he does is to emulate his father. Like using the emergency measures act…

Drapeau & Bourassa begged Trudeau Sr. to do so. The nationalist narrative blaming Trudeau is a misdirection intended to disguise how little popular support they actually had in Quebec.

Sim, the War Measures Act and the Emergencies Act are not the same, and were not invoked for similar reasons. I don’t think it’s a parallel that can be fairly drawn.
