THE ART OF POLITICS -
By Bernard Bujold -
The art of politics involves three worlds that must merge to achieve success. The first world is the politician's convictions, which he must set aside to join the second world, which is the perception of his target voters. Finally, a good politician must take into account the third world, that of his opponents, to better surpass them.
U.S. President Donald Trump has mastered all three worlds. In Quebec, the current Premier, François Legault, strikes a balance among the three worlds, but Paul Saint-Pierre Plamondon does so to a lesser extent, clinging to a referendum option. Meanwhile, Pablo Rodriguez is a good person, but he lacks the qualities of a successful politician. In Ottawa, Mark Carney masters all three worlds to an admirable degree, even better than my friend Trump.
That said, to all a happy holiday season 2025!
