Stephen Maher- The Prince: Justin Trudeau's Contentious Legacy

  • Salt Spring Forum Society Box 673 STN Ganges Ganges, British Columbia, V8K 2W3 Canada (map)

Stephen Maher’s new book, The Prince (Simon and Schuster) is the first comprehensive biography of Justin Trudeau as Canadian Prime Minister.

Maher has been writing about Canadian politics since 1989. As a columnist and investigative reporter for Postmedia News, iPolitics, and Maclean’s, he has often set the agenda on Parliament Hill, covering political corruption, electoral wrongdoing, misinformation, and human rights abuses. He has also won many awards, including the Nieman Fellowship at Harvard University, the Michener Award for meritorious public service journalism, and the National Newspaper Award.

 With Justin Trudeau just having announced his resignation, his government is lurching towards the abyss, with cabinet ministers resigning and the Liberal Party shockingly low in opinion polls.

 Will Trudeau’s resignation save the Liberal Party?

 With great timing, Stephen Maher joins us the day before Parliament was due to resume. But now with Parliament prorogued until March, we can discuss the highs and lows of Trudeau’s leadership and examine where and why it all went wrong.

 Can there yet be a twist in the tale?

 Why did Trudeau stay on so long, ignoring freefalling opinion polls and the voices of his own caucus?

 Who might take over from Trudeau? Could anyone save the Liberals from defeat in the next election?

 Don’t miss this one!

Join us for this prescient and revealing discussion.

 Copies of The Prince will be available at a reduced price.
