To some extent I think the Tories would have bashed Trudeau no matter what he said. Doubly so considering the Trudeau clan's unique relationship with Cuba. That kind of opening is hard to ignore.

They would have attacked him no matter what.

I stopped reading the article after seeing Kellie Leitch's embedded tweet, and yelling "FUCK YOU AND YOUR 'CANADIAN VALUES'" at my computer.

If she wins the leadership race, I will be beyond pissed.

Don't be mad, get motivated to campaign for another 4 years of Trudeau. Or just for him again.

How 'bout both?

I'm really not into centre-left politicians but i kinda like Justin Trudeau.
Is he reforming the liberals or their polices has been similar in previous governments?

This gives you a rundown of every campaign promise the Liberals made, as well as whether or not they've broken or achieved them. *Now with a fancy new analytics page.*

So far, so good.

At current rates they "break" a promise about every fourteen days, and "achieve" a promise about every ten. If those rates stay constant for another five years every campaign promise the Liberals made will be reached, and we'll see a roughly 60/40 split on achieved vs broken promises.

Not sure whether or not that's a good report card for them, considering I have no idea how previous governments have performed.

The stuff in progress looks good.

All I'm saying is that they'd be getting a pretty solid 'D' if I had to grade them right now. I'd like to see that improve, for no other reason than that. A party that can't deliver on, say, 70% of the promises it makes during a campaign isn't one that I trust to govern.

They shouldn't have promised to do things "immediately" or "every year", that's where most of the broken promises are coming from.

Yeah, like the Syrian refugee one. It took them a little longer than expected, but they ended up bringing in more than they promised, as i recall.

Not sure if that's good in Canada, but it's certainly good when you compare it to the politicians down here in the US. If he can follow through on 60%, he gets an applause.

Like I said, I have no idea whether or not that's a good performance, because I don't know if anyone has tracked campaign promises like that for a previous government.

Man, the Liberals really are going for the gold in backpedaling. Electoral reform is literally the one promise that all those NDP, Green, etc. voters (including myself) who held their nose and voted Liberal cared about... and judging by this it doesn't look good.

End first-past-the-post voting system and explore alternative options is in progress.

The committee isn't supposed to deliver it's final report to the House until December 1st. Try to hold on to your complaints until then.

Trudeau will not further pursue electoral reform, calling it. Seriously, why anyone still trusts him fully at this point is beyond me.

Yes, we understand that you can post a nifty little tool that someone else linked halfway up the page. "In progress" doesn't mean anything lol.

In progress, means exactly what it sounds, it's in the process of being completed.
