While Chrystia Freeland and other cabinet members have struggled to deal with the rail blockades, Trudeau has been flying around Africa and Europe
Over his four years as prime minister, it has become noteworthy how often Justin Trudeau faces problems of his own making.
It may have seemed at the time that tying himself to a shining idealism offered little to lose for the Liberal leader. Unfortunately, the years since have demonstrated otherwise. Staunch assertions of his devotion to feminism, for instance, ran aground when he found himself faced with a senior female cabinet minister who assiduously refused to cave to his demands that she change her position on a Quebec-based company seeking political help from the government.
Construction of the Trans Mountain pipeline, and other energy projects, was never going to be easy given concerns over environmental impacts, but Trudeau greatly complicated the decision he would one day face by trying to play both sides against the middle.
