The party’s over—the Liberal Party, that is

Gone is the pragmatism of the past, the calm hand on the tiller. Replaced by chaos and ill-thought-out policies.

National Defence Minister Anita Anand leaves the Liberal cabinet meeting at 111 Sussex Dr. in Ottawa on Oct. 27, with staffer Todd Lane, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly, Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez. This cabinet does not resemble any previous Liberal ministry, writes Andrew Caddell, and the party is instead characterized by massive deficits, huge social spending, zero growth, flags at half-mast, income supports, and a cabinet composed of only one pro-business minister.
