The Long Shadow Over Ottawa

The Long Shadow Over Ottawa: For a decade, Justin Trudeau sat at the center of Canadian politics like a man convinced the storm would never touch him. Not because he was untouchable — but because the system around him was just comfortable enough to look the other way.

Families felt the squeeze. Entire communities learned what it meant to tighten their belts while Ottawa loosened its standards.
