what trudeau is doing is setting up a conservative-dominated senate to block the left-leaning parliament. he has consistently placed conservatives in places of power, while rejecting liberals. then, he claims it's about being "non-partisan".

this is how marijuana legalization will be blocked, and how trudeau will more broadly sabotage the interests of his own party, and his own voters. but, it will also allow him to campaign further left, fully aware that he can introduce liberal legislation, only to have it blocked by the progressive/conservative body he's set up.

thankfully, this charade can be easily dismantled when this party is removed from power. in the mean time, prepare yourself for immense disappointment until the country finally clues in to the nature of this charlatan and sends him home to his trust fund.
