Some of us contrast Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s transgressions with former president Trump’s activities and to the gravity and challenge of governing during a global pandemic and are compelled to dismiss our made-in-Canada ethics ‘scandals’ as being comparatively inconsequential, writes Ian Stedman.I teach an upper year course on public sector ethics at York University.
Every year, I add new content to my course because every year politicians in this country make what I desperately hope are clumsy, rather than corrupt, decisions that land them in hot water. I am a glass-half full person though, and I want my students to learn to think critically about public sector ethics, not cynically. This is easier said than done sometimes.
IStedman I disagree. JustinTrudeau continues to create consensus based on public interest, focusing lawmaking to create the foundation for implementation and appropriate enforcement of the rules. That is neither impeded by Mr Trump nor the pandemic. That is indeed ethical.
IStedman Trump and Trudeau are peas in a pod. The only difference is one has the parliamentary press gallery in his pocket.
