What I see is that Globe writers like Martin and the conservative faithful continue to underestimate Trudeau. It sank the latter in the last election and it continues to be their achilles heel writ large. Please keep it coming!

Look at Trudeau's decisiveness yesterday in approving Kinder Morgan and quashing Northern Gateway. That's leadership, folks with an extra serving of cojones.

The praise of Castro was simply honouring a controversial leader who was also a family friend. There are two sides to the ugly dictator story and we only hear what comes out of Florida. Cash for access? Yes, the Liberals need to live up to their newly set standards – but the concept of mixing business, politics, and money must be the second oldest profession.

Judging from recent imbroglios like the Duffy scandal, conservatives should be wary of throwing stones.
