Most people won\u2019t know it because all eyes, including those of our media, appear to be on the Presidential election in the United States. No doubt, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is quite content to allow that to overshadow events in Ottawa, because last week Justin Trudeau gave us a glimpse into his sense of entitlement and that of his Liberal Government.<\/p>\n<p>I have long felt that it is the little things, revealing tidbits of conversations, impulsive movements, that provide insights into an individual\u2019s true character; much more so than what one learns through long speeches, elaborate promises or public posturing. In that regard, Justin Trudeau recently lit up the screen in an interview with a major Quebec newspaper, Le Devoir.<\/p>\n<div style=\"float: left; margin-right: 14px;\">A significant platform in the Liberal election campaign of a year ago was electoral reform. \u201cThis is the last election for first Past the Post,\u201d he trumpeted. More lately, the Liberals appeared to be downplaying election reform and this is what the Prime Minister had to say about it to Le Devoir. <em>\u201cElectoral reform may not be necessary now that the Conservatives are no longer in<\/em> <em>power.\u201d<\/em> The implications of that statement, no matter how off the cuff it may have been, are astounding and offer real insight into how the Prime Minister thinks.<\/div>\n<div style=\"float: left; margin-right: 14px;\"><strong> <broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45658\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n<p>The following day, the P.M. recommitted himself to Electoral reform, but it&#8217;s important to focus on what he <strong>actually<\/strong> said to Le Devoir. The implication is clear. He believed that electoral reform was a way to keep Conservatives from governing, but now that he\u2019s in the driver\u2019s seat, all is well and there is no real need for election reform. What else could it possibly mean? Even former NDP leader Ed Broadbent, who is no friend of the Tories, said the Prime Minister edged \u201cclose to being undemocratic\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I will go further than Mr. Broadbent and say that it was totally undemocratic and whatever one\u2019s political preference, that statement should be seen as offensive and disturbing. Once said, you cannot take it back. To rig the electoral process to favour one political party over another, smacks of entitlement and third-world politics. That is why electoral reform, if it is to take place, cannot be introduced by this government. Their intent now is clear and that is to meddle with the most basic tenets of democracy. Electoral reform must be determined only by a national referendum, as a majority of Canadian voters have indicated they want. Any other method should merit a constitutional challenge.<\/p>\n<p>While Mr. Trudeau\u2019s statement to Le Devoir is a stunning admission of entitlement, there have been other disturbing signs during the first year of his government. In spite of campaign promises to reform pay-for-play fundraising, to crack down on perks for members of his government, and to work cooperatively with Parliament and the Provinces, misuse of power and self-serving spending are quickly becoming the hallmark of the Trudeau Administration. Let\u2019s look at a few examples.<\/p>\n<p>First, there was that ugly scene in the House of Commons when the Prime Minister strode from his side of the aisle to manhandle an opposition member into his seat in an arrogant display of control and entitlement and in a manner totally opposed to parliamentary practise and tradition. Then there was the payment he authorized of nearly a quarter of a million dollars to move his top two aides to Ottawa. And while selfies and photo shoots seem to be a staple of his Administration, isn\u2019t $10,681 for photos of Environment Minister Catherine McKenna at the Climate Change Conference in Paris just a little much? Not to mention $12,000 for meals for three bureaucrats at the same meeting.<\/p>\n<p>Then we learned that Finance Minister Bill Morneau, on the eve of budget consultations, held a pay-for-play fundraiser at $1500 a pop. There was also the Minister of Justice taking advantage of fundraising with law firms who have the capacity to provide extensive legal advice to the government in general and to her office in particular. And remember, it was Justin Trudeau who said that even the perception of selling access for political donations would not be tolerated. Well, it appears that they are, especially with another estimated dozen or more to come this year, and that comes with a powerful sense of entitlement.<\/p>\n<p>Don Martin, host of CTV\u2019s Power Play, recently said, \u201cThat double helix of political favouritism and entitlement so dominant in the DNA of Liberals past, is staging a biological comeback in Justin Trudeau\u2019s government.\u201d He is right to point that out. Justin Trudeau may still be Canada\u2019s poster boy and the media\u2019s darling, but someone still needs to hold him accountable. Three more years of unfettered entitlement by this government will not bode well for Canada.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beware of Entitlements This last week politics in Canada got interesting.
