He accompanied Justin Trudeau on the eve of a pivotal moment in his career: the announcement of his resignation. Marc Miller believes that his friend of the last 40 years is calm, even if, according to the Liberal minister, “the caucus may have abused its benevolence” and lacked gratitude.
The resignation of Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Chrystia Freeland was an immensely critical moment
for the Prime Minister, according to Marc Miller. Seeing a lieutenant of such stature leave in such a way would shake anyone
he confides.
However, Justin Trudeau is not a resentful person, says Minister Miller. Me, quite frankly, I would be
he said. But he has this ability to forgive people.

Mr. Miller believes his leader made the best decision by listening to the increasingly numerous and public voices calling for his departure. It was difficult, [Justin Trudeau] is a human being
he admits. If we don’t have regrets, if we don’t have remorse, that means we don’t have emotions.
The interview conducted by Daniel Thibeault will be presented on the show THE corridors of power broadcast Sunday at 11 h (EST) on HERE RDI and on HERE TV.
If the Prime Minister has one regret, it is not having better managed the discord within the Liberal Party, admits Minister Miller.
THE internal battles
got the better of him, Justin Trudeau himself conceded last Monday. He saw that he could not manage this battle on two fronts, that is to say with [non seulement] the main concern of what awaits us with the United States but also this internal discord
summarizes the minister.
Politics is boring. But I think there is a more important reason: it is the concern of our country.

Minister Miller says he will support the candidate chosen by members of the Liberal Party but that many are not cut out for campaigning.
Many people think they could do a good job as prime minister. But they are terrible at doing the job of becoming prime minister
explains Mr. Miller.
It takes “guts” to be leader of the party, it takes “guts” to be a deputy. But it takes “guts” to be Prime Minister of Canada.
Criticism of the Liberal Party of Canada will not automatically disappear with the arrival of a new leader, admits Marc Miller. However, according to him, Justin Trudeau’s legacy goes beyond the current climate that plagues Canadian politics. I think history will judge this better than I could.
