risk being too long in the limelight. What, I mulled, will posterity accord him – high praise for his accomplishments or otherwise.

Firstly, he has legalized marijuana and it is now available to all in different forms – pills, gummies, smokies and muffins. Some benefit from partaking while others do not. Infinitely worse, monies have not flowed as anticipated into the national exchequer and some investors and entrepreneurs have lost heavily.

Secondly, we come to the wonderful but extravagant care and consideration shown to us all (except truckers) during the Covid crisis. The national debt has doubled, perhaps by some $40 billion more than was necessary, and our annual deficit is being maintained by an amount which equals the annual interest payments on the federal debt. Some people must find this rather confusing.

Thirdly, as is constantly clarioned, we should all be grateful for the $10 a day daycare and dental programs. These are laudable but to be perfectly honest – and Mr. Trudeau studiously avoids mentioning this, the kudos for the inception of these programs is due almost entirely to the NDP and ever so humble Mr. Singh.

My final achievement choice has to be the detested carbon tax now foisted upon us. There is no way that a Peter Polly government, especially a minority one, can rid us of this expandable but necessary revenue source disguised in green camouflage. Be not deceived, this tax is inflationary while other programs are a response to robbing Peter to pay Paul policies.

If you ask Mr. Trudeau a simple question such as “What time is it?” he will respond with criticism of the Conservative party, Liberal party propaganda, and a recitation of the acronyms for the programs and committees created to resolve problems arising from his years in office. I am sure he will know the word I am searching for.
