Justin Trudeau

Canada’s image at the world’s signature climate negotiations could be complicated by infighting, some observers fear, as two of the federal government's ardent critics at the provincial level look to capture attention at the United Nations climate summit known as COP28.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau kicked off a two-day summit with the top two heads of the European Union on Thursday, Nov. 23, 2023, night in a small brewpub on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean in Newfoundland and Labrador's capital city of St. John's.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre released a blueprint for how he would respond to an uptick in hate crimes on Thursday, Nov. 23, 2023, while the Liberals accused him of being irresponsible for prematurely labelling an explosion at a Canada-U.S. border checkpoint a "terrorist attack" the day before.

The media isn't responsible for the Trudeau Liberals' recent tumble in the polls. But as a recent story about the prime minister's schedule shows, they're often helping dumb down a political discourse that could stand to get a whole lot smarter.
