Prime Minister Justin Trudeau acted just like his daddy on Friday, in all the wrong ways.

Trudeau was hosting a First Ministers Meeting in Montreal and at once was both dismissive of the provinces and premiers, as his father had been, and even tried to pit East against West.

Trudeau set an agenda for the meeting that initially gave premiers little time to raise their issues.

Instead of the PM sitting around the table and discussing issues with the premiers, the plan was to have the premiers listen as Trudeau’s ministers gave glorified Ted Talks on how great the government was.

That didn’t sit well and premiers demanded issues, such as the oil crisis, the auto sector, the lack of cannabis supply and the cost of illegal border crossers all be discussed.

Trudeau promised his ministers would only give presentation for a few minutes before discussions began. That didn’t happen.
