Anyone following the “messaging” of Justin Trudeau as leader
of the Liberal Party of Canada may be feeling a little worn down by now. Every missive is a paean to the “middle class”,
usually with some “hope” thrown in. But by far the most insufferable are
Trudeau’s repeated and fatuous references to “hard work”.
For those of us unfortunate enough to be on the Liberal Party’s
mailing list, we have: June 17, “with
hope and hard work, I know we can make change happen”; May 1st, “we
need to hit our fundraising targets and show that hope and hard work trumps
cynicism and tired attacks”; April 17, “the leadership race is now behind us.
And before us, much work to be done.”
