THE LAST PLAY OF JUSTIN TRUDEAU

JUSTIN TRUDEAU IS STILL IN THE GAME... 

By Bernard Bujold-

If Ottawa politics were a football game, you could say Justin Trudeau made a “Hail Mary” pass... A “Hail Mary” pass is a very long forward pass, usually made in desperation, with little chance of success. It's traditionally attempted at the end of a half or at the end of a game when the team is too far from the end zone to execute a more conventional play. 

Justin didn't say he was leaving! He said he “intends” to leave when his party has a new leader. What happens if, on March 25, the party doesn't have a new leader and an election is called? Justin would legally remain the leader and run the campaign. Few candidates will agree to run for the leadership of the Liberal party, as the chances of victory are slim to none. 

Justin is playing his last play in the football of Ottawa politics… and Donald Trump has fun in the stands.
