However, the Liberal whabbut Steven Harper talking points are stale deflections. This Trudeau Government has been in power for 8 years. That is sufficient time to learn and grow into a competent government operation. Mr. Morneau confirms that the learning curve process has stalled out. That’s not Stephen Harpers fault, sorry.
Sorry again, but the original Terry Quinn rebuttal in this thread tried to link my thoughts to Stephen Harper.
We could have quite a debate on the merits of Harpers appointments to Cabinet, including some very competent women who are held in high regard today. Lisa Raitt and Rona Ambrose for starters, but this Substack offering is an insider look into the Trudeau Government. Let’s all stay on point.
He did, but I don’t see the suggestion that anything was Harper’s ‘fault’. Merely that your comments sounded like they referred to Harper. I agree we should try to stay on point. It’s obvious that Morneau was uncomfortable in the role - being part of the government. I’m not surprised, given his background.
I agree. And I think that his training in finance gave him insight as to the spending trajectory of the Trudeau Government. Perhaps he saw the dangers of continuing the wild deficit spending and ramping up of new social programs without new taxes to support them.
Morneau fell out of favour soon after the WE scandal hit the news, and the nasty leaks were the beginning of the end. If he told the Prime Minister that the present arc of deficit spending was unsustainable and it cost him his job, he certainly gets my respect for his forthrightness.

No one said it was his fault. Just that Morneau’s comments sounded like he was talking about Harper not Trudeau. All governments are part of history.

IMHO, Morneau became uncomfortable once he realized the govt was run on ideology, and not sound practices...

That's your opinion. And to me it is without merit because you are obviously a Liberal shill. Take a hike, please.
exactly....I think you are pushing BS
Excellent and thoughtful response, thanks.
Thank you. That's very kind.
