      It’s representative of his time in the PMO: talk a good game, then fall apart on the details.

      It’s a pity, because he seemed so awesome at the beginning.

        I agree. Weed legalization was excellent and his early policy choices made me optimistic.

        I’d also say… he’s never been an awful PM either. He’s just standard corporate neoliberal. Probusiness to a regrettable degree and very slow to enact policy changes.

          “could have been worse” is a decent summary, but screwing up the carbon tax and bogarting election reform are both unforgivable sins in my books.
