Strange or incompetent? 
This was a gross failure to communicate and not much more. It ended up creating unnecessary upset for so many and loss of credibility for Morneau and Trudeau.  
That the Liberals tried to placate small business by announcing a tax cut (that 100% small business that makes a profit will enjoy) isn't a 180 degree turn from what they had set out to do (and messed up). It's my understanding that Morneau's plan would have not had any impact on me as a small business, nor would it effect 99.9% of other small businesses. 
Mr. Trudeau looks and acts like Mr. Trump in this press conference - he belittles and undermines his key cabinet minister for us all to see. Nor does he come clean and communicate with honesty and clarity about what Morneau was intending to do. Can any of these politicians say they are responsible and got something wrong?
