Sir John Macdonald

Sir John Macdonald (born January 11, 1815, Glasgow, Scotland—died June 6, 1891, Ottawa, Ontario, Dominion of Canada) was the first prime minister of the Dominion of Canada (1867–73, 1878–91), who led Canada through its period of early growth. Though accused of devious and unscrupulous methods, he is remembered for his achievements.

Trudeau believes he's the chosen one

A good way to understand what drives Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is a book written almost three decades ago by the great American conservative thinker Thomas Sowell titled, The Vision of the Anointed: Self-Congratulation as a Basis for Social Policy .

Obviously, Sowell wasn’t writing about Trudeau — but he was writing about the contemporary liberal mindset of politicians like Trudeau.

In a Canadian context, this is not a new observation.

The first time I wrote about it was in a 2015 column, “Trudeau, the anointed one,” a month after he won the election that brought him to power.

Arrogant Liberals defeating themselves

The federal Liberals consider themselves to be Canada’s natural governing party and, in some ways, they are.

In Canada’s 157 years as a nation on July 1 — the Liberals have been in power for 60% of the time; 69% since 1900.

But their electoral success has bred a certain arrogance within them, leading to a deafness of tone by which they often defeat themselves.
