I just saw a story in which Biden, in referring to Trudeau's pending 
resignation,  said the world is a better place for having had Trudeau 
leading Canada.

I cannot think of a single way in which Canada - or the world - has been 
better off for having had Trudeau as Prime Minister. I *can* think of 
several ways that the country and the world are WORSE off though.

In terms of foreign affairs, our government's craven pandering to the 
pro-Hamas crowd has been appalling. We've even received thanks in 
writing from the Hamas leadership!

In terms of shared defence, we are one of the worst offenders in terms 
of failing to meet our NATO commitments. We've only announced a vague 
intention to eventually meet the 2% floor and that announcement had no 
teeth or real spending commitment with a target date almost a decade away.

Meanwhile, Trudeau has increased the size of the federal bureaucracy 
40%, spend untold millions on very expensive "consultants", been and 
being embroiled in scandal after scandal. Getting a passport, which used 
to take two weeks at most, is apparently a multi-month process now 
DESPITE all the bureaucrats. I believe the bureaucrats are STILL 
dragging their heels about going back to their offices to work despite 
Covid being over for many months now. (Apparently, they LIKE working in 
their jammies and not having to commute.)
