Canada · 2015–2025
Justin Trudeau
Liberal prime minister. Social liberalism, carbon pricing, deficits, and emergency powers during the trucker protests.
Justin Trudeau is on the world-leaders chart for Canada, 2015–2025. The placement note, from the public governing record, is: Liberal prime minister. Social liberalism, carbon pricing, deficits, and emergency powers during the trucker protests.
The dot is economics -22 and authority -8, on a scale from −100 to +100. That is left of center on economics. The other axis sits near the middle. Left means a larger public role. Up means more authority. Neither direction is treated as the correct one.
A second note separates what was said in public from what the government then did. Said: Sunny ways: climate pricing, reconciliation, deficits that would stay modest, and feminist government. Done: The carbon price and social spending happened. The deficits did not stay modest, and emergency powers were used on the trucker protests. The gap, when there is one, is part of the placement. A promise that was kept and a promise that was dropped are not given the same weight.
The nearest other figures on these two numbers are Mikhail Gorbachev (Soviet Union, -22 / -4) and Willy Brandt (West Germany, -24 / -12). Nearest means nearest on the chart, not alike in character.
Two governments can share a number and share nothing else. The source is the public governing record, not a news write-up and not a campaign advertisement.
