I'm always surprised that this isn't more obvious to people. Your sense of whether "the media" is too far left or right depends heavily on your own politics. I've been at this for a long time, and I've read many hundreds of people complaining about bias. And I don't recall anyone ever saying, "The media agree with me too often."

This Liberal Government seems rattled, unsteady and as Mr Wells points out, it has lost its agility. Perhaps some of it is a long overdue reckoning with its reckless financial stewardship? The internal barometer at the Finance Department must be pointing towards an intense low pressure system because the PBOC is sure talking a gloomy outlook.

I also wonder what internal polling data is telling the Liberal Party about its handy wedge strategy, always deployed when backed into a corner. Has household economics pushed guns, right to choose and DEI politics off the radar? Does Trudeau REALLY think that he can demonize parents all across Canada who want to know what’s going on at school?

In the end, maybe it’s just all about attitude. The days of division and bad mouthing wide swaths of voters to solidify a base seems to have run its course. People are increasingly fed up with fighting and want to get back to building an economy where everyone has a chance for success.
