Globe&Mail q: can you give us an example of when you’ve worked with other parties? PM does not provide example. @MariekeWalsh follows up saying some see PM’s approach as my way or the highway so is there an example? PM instead outlines on where he hopes to cooperate #cdnpoli
PM says he regrets that much of the campaign was nasty and not about substantive issues and seemed to be about him. Mr Trudeau says he takes some responsibility for that. #cdnpoli
This is the most conciliatory tone from PM Trudeau we have heard in some time. Much more olive branch mode than Monday night. #cdnpoli
