\u201cYou have to be swimming with the tide of history,\u201d in order for a policy to withstand the test of time and stay relatively unchanged over the course of subsequent administrations, says Stephen Azzi, associate professor of political management at ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ University. It has to be things that can\u2019t be immediately repealed, and the timing has to be right, he says.<\/p>\n

Historic examples of lasting policies Azzi cites include the major change Trudeau\u2019s father, Pierre Elliott Trudeau, made during his time as prime minister: establishing the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it has to be dramatic, it has to be something noticeable, so things like tax cuts aren\u2019t the sorts of things that get remembered. Big measures\u2014building a railway, creating a charter of rights\u2014those are the things that tend to be remembered. It has to be big and dramatic instead of tinkering at the edges, and it has to be something that lasts,\u201d says Azzi.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
