On Oct 20, 2015 the CBC news said, "Nelson Wiseman, a political science professor at the University of Toronto, said Canadian diplomats are delighted at Trudeau’s election because Harper never let them speak without checking with the government first."

In Oct 2017 we're in a position where the PM wouldn't let the minister of finance even speak for himself, choosing to humiliate the minister and embarrass  himself.  

The pot calling the kettle black. The nasties for our PM and his woefully incompetent government are just getting started.  Even the NDP under angry Tom would have been better than this lot.
