But it’s still early days.

Remember Trudeau’s commencement address in May to the graduates of New York University, the one soaked in sanctimony in which he urged the young minds in the vast audience before him to “let yourself be vulnerable to another point of view,” and to “not cocoon ourselves in an ideological, social or intellectual bubble.”

All horse-hooey.

Trudeau is a miserable failure when it comes to practising what he preaches if another point of view is not his point of view.

He looks across the aisle of the House of Commons and does not see the Official Opposition of Andrew Scheer’s Conservatives.

Instead, he sees the gang of “ambulance chasers” steeped in “the politics of fear and division.”

A few short days ago, while speaking at a Liberal fundraiser in north Toronto, Trudeau looked at the 2019 federal election and predicted it “will be the most divisive and negative and nasty political campaign in Canada’s history.”

But in no way will it be him slinging the mud.

“(But) I will not engage in personal attacks and none of our team will either,” he promised, all on the record.

No sooner were those words out of his mouth, however, than Trudeau was standing in the Commons calling the Conservatives, and Tory Deputy Leader Lisa Raitt in particular, “ambulance chasers” for wanting young Tori Stafford’s co-killer back behind prison bars, and not living the life of near-freedom in a First Nations healing lodge when there has never been any indication that she has even a single drop of indigenous blood in her veins.
