In one deft move he has established his credentials as a leader. The reaction around our office was: “Wow! That is pretty cool! Match that one, Mr. Harper!”
His simple, clear decision has changed the
Senate game and, to my mind, demonstrated that he is a serious contender in the
coming political battles.
Justin Trudeau’s decision has:
·
changed the game in Ottawa
·
got everyone talking – he has
wrestled the agenda from the PMO;
·
amused people by the blatancy
and novelty of his decision;
·
shown a political brazenness
that people would not have suspected of him;
·
demonstrated political
selflessness and shrewdness;
·
acted in a manner that may win
the approval of many Canadians;
·
demonstrated a level of
assertiveness, courage and clarity as found in an effective leader.
He has dared to manage.
