Yes, nobody outflanks Lawrence Martin when it comes to Trudeau worship pere et fils and to cheerleading for the Liberal Party.

However, even Ibbitson's column was generally favourable to Trudeau 2.0 and glossed over the many mistakes and malfeasances and moronic musings of our Clown Prince and his cabinet of greenhorns.

For example, Ibbitson started his column with the observation that by now we had enough information on this PM and this government to decide whether or not we would support Trudeau in 2019.

Given that the other major parties have yet to select their leaders for the 2019 election, this statement is both specious and irresponsible.

It is like asking someone to choose from three short listed candidates for an executive position without knowing anything at all about two of the three candidates.

Exactly like that.

John Ibbitson is one of the best political columnists in this country but this was not his finest hour in that regard.

And Larry was just being Larry.
