Here are some of its highlights:
Prime ministers do not normally shuffle their cabinet in a major way after little more than a year in office. Justin Trudeau used the extraordinary circumstance of the changing of the guard in the White House to rearrange his top deck earlier rather than later. So far, the reviews are mostly positive.

Once a staple of the holiday news season, the televised prime ministerial fireside chats are well on the way to joining the ghosts of Christmas past. […]
Justin Trudeau promised neo-liberalism with a human face. Those weren’t the words he used. But the phrase expresses the gist of the election campaign he successfully waged just over a year ago.
[…]
To understand Justin Trudeau’s visceral reluctance to respond to mounting criticism of his party’s fundraising practices, it is best to simply follow the money. […]
Here’s Justin Trudeau explaining his mission to the Guardian, the leading centre-left newspaper in Great Britain:

Two lessons can be drawn from the federal government’s electoral reform fiasco last week.
The first is that political parties favour whatever voting system favours them. […]
