Is Justin a coward? The answer is yes.
I always hear from people that there are consequences of your actions that you have to face. There are responsibilities.
If you want to screw with people’s lives, screw with their livelihoods, I feel you owe them an explanation. I also feel that, being an elected official and leader of the Government of Canada, you need to give that explanation in person. Face to face. Maybe not in front of the entire crowd but with the leaders at the very least.
Not doing that makes him a coward in my books.
