No honeymoon for Trudeau, Tory base in revolt against O’Toole

TORONTO – Justin Trudeau’s European tour was a breath of fresh air, but now it’s time to tackle the internal grit. Today the Prime Minister left Glasgow, Scotland, and reached Ottawa in the late afternoon. After the official visit to the Netherlands, the G20 Summit in Rome, the bilateral meetings – including the one with Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi – and the climate summit in Glasgow, Trudeau is preparing to face a series of commitments at Parliament Hill that promise quite challenging. First of all, the liberal leader has to deal with an extremely fragmented political context, with a honeymoon with the electorate that basically never began and with a long series of knots to be solved in the coming months.
