La description

After a decade of Stephen Harper, the arrival of Justin Trudeau felt like a relief. But as Canadians reckon with the gulf between the dazzling promise of Trudeau’s election and the grim reality of his government, journalist Martin Lukacs makes the case that “real change” was never part of the agenda. Lukacs argues it’s time that Canada’s progressive majority abandon the idea of saviours and renew the task of collectively winning the world we need.
