Although I mostly don't agree with much of his politics, and there are one or two false starts, I think he is mostly doing a good job during the pandemic. His briefings seem pretty good for the most part. I'd give him an A or an A+ on his pandemic response.

Here's a couple of links to columnists who would appear to rather disagree (that's aside from Trudeau using the crisis politically, for grabbing power, and for sneaking in a [badly flawed] gun control bill while parliament is lame, so as to fool urban voters into re-electing the liberals) - it's true though that the feds pretty well stayed out of the way of the provinces since health care is to a large extent their ball:

The power grab which he was suitably rebuked for was not a shining moment. The gun bill is not a good thing but consistent with his election promises. As they say, elections have consequences. Neither of those articles are indictments of Trudeau and his personal handling of the Covid response. I think once his wife was infected he understood the severity of the situation and has acted correctly, even putting political correctness aside and instituting travel bans. Just because we don't agree with him politically doesn't mean that we shouldn't praise him when he does something right. He is our Prime Minister even if we didn't vote for him or his party. He deserves our respect on that basis alone. A plurality of Canadians did vote for his party in our first past the post free for all.

I'm far from sure he deserves an 'A' for his handling of the crisis - in other words, I'm not sure he's done much right, so why should I praise/respect him. The politically correct revisionists have taken down signs of respect to Sir John A., and he was a PM, too. After some of his personal and political failures (hopefully largely unnecessary to restate), I wonder if Justin should get schools or airports named after him later on. Thanks to a largely left-wing media/nation, he may get more named after him than Harper will, which could gall many. Aside from all that, there's the federal carbon tax hike that was also snuck in, and which was extra-unfortunately introduced during the big financial squeeze of this covid-19 crisis. Not to mention that the travel banning (and unwelcoming of border crossers from the US) was done only partially at best.
