So he said it. For once in his life, Justin Trudeau said 'sorry' for something he did.
This apology came swiftly and almost seemed real -- but here's why I'm not impressed:
It was at that $1,500 per person fundraiser where Justin Trudeau was at his most authentic.
This wouldn't have happened at a townhall -- he'd have known it was public. But there, with his fellow Laurentian elites, Trudeau was in his element and he played to them. This is who he really is -- this is his comfort zone. He rose to their laughter and struck again, and again. These are his people. He was at home, and enjoying the mirth of the crowd as he dismissed this young woman and her pedestrian concerns.
Had the whole thing not been filmed, he'd have never spared an ounce of 'sorry' on her.
In that moment, it didn't occur to him that someone who spent $1,500 to be there must have been very serious about their concerns.
But what's $1,500 to a Trudeau or his fellow well-heeled Liberals. Chump change.
The Liberal Party, its members, its MPs -- should start really thinking about whether they want to be associated with this kind of bozo eruption.
