A new book from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives has found that while the Justin Trudeau government made big policy promises, it “under-delivered” in many areas.

The organization recently released The Trudeau Record, the latest in their series examining the tenure of Canadian Prime Ministers.

Senior researcher Stewart Trew says they didn’t find any “complete failures” in the areas they looked at, arguing that there was a general willingness to use the government’s capacity and funding in “more engaged ways than previous governments.”

But he does note that, on the legalization of cannabis, for example, they haven’t seen the benefits of that in terms of “correcting past wrongs with respect to the criminalization of drug use.”

He says there has been an over-incarceration of Indigenous and black people as it relates to the drug trade, and there was an opportunity to correct those past injustices but “we haven’t really seen that.”

One big failure, which Trew says the book doesn’t look at, is electoral reform.

He says it is “straight up hard to imagine…how the government couldn’t have done this when they had a huge mandate to do this in 2015.” Trew argues that electoral reform could have been easily done, and would have made the system more democratic.
