Justin Trudeau says he’s taking a lower-profile, more businesslike approach to being prime minister, having concluded the focus on him and his lofty talk of values during his first mandate obscured his government’s concrete achievements on bread-and-butter issues. Trudeau’s new approach is a big departure for a leader who vaulted the Liberal party from its apparent death bed into government in 2015, largely on the strength of his celebrity status and "sunny ways" appeal. In a year-end interview with The Canadian Press, Trudeau said the message he takes from the recent federal election is that Canadians agree with the general direction being taken but want more respectful and collaborative approaches to governing.
