In the new minority government, the biggest question mark is Justin Trudeau GlobeDebate

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaks after swearing-in his new cabinet at Rideau Hall on Nov. 20, 2019 in Ottawa.Prime Minister Justin Trudeau formed his new minority government this week. The question now is, what kind of minority government will it be?

Probably, at least to some degree. All governments with strong minorities such as Mr. Trudeau’s keep their eye on the prize of a majority, and it is well within Canada’s parliamentary tradition for governments to dissolve at a time that is favourable to them . Thus, like the Pearson years, Mr. Trudeau could accomplish a number of things that advance the country, while also being tempered by the necessity to collaborate.

On another front, the Liberals are in a position to introduce a national program to pay for Canadians’ drug prescriptions. They were lukewarm to pharmacare during the election campaign, but the NDP intends to push the issue. In a country where millions can’t afford their medications, a national pharmacare program would be the natural successor to Pearson’s medicare package of the 1960s.

Trudeau's new cabinet faces big divide in Prairies: NanosPrime Minister Justin Trudeau unveiled a new cabinet partly designed to appeal to the Prairies provinces on Tuesday, but his government still faces a major regional divide among voters. Hegelian Dialectic.... Same old 'dog & pony show' to create the illusion of democracy when in fact we are ruled by plutocrats who do as they please without regard for the will of the people. BOTH parties suck and we won't have real democracy until we get rid of FPTP. JustinTrudeau, you had one job. Nanos needs to go into hibernation till the next time we need to count stuff.

CTV National News: New Liberal cabinet unveiledPrime Minister Justin Trudeau unveiled a revamped cabinet of ministers for a minority parliament. Joyce Napier has the details. A 'fractured country' is putting it mildly. Never has the West been so enraged since Trudeau Sr. This is worse than the threat of Quebec separation, yet Trudeau will always favour his dear Quebec & even willing to break a law for 9000 jobs at SNCLavalin. TrudeauCorruption DCTFTW Leave it to CTV and the rest of the Fakenewsmedia to show TrudeauMrDressUp in such a fake positive light. The country has never been so divided in my lifetime. You can't Polish a Turd! Gee. As leader of this country one would wonder who fractured it?
