After proroguing Parliament for two months, one of the first actions of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was to jet to the United States for a sit-down interview with CNN. This is after cancelling a host of scheduled year-end interviews with Canadian media, and refusing to conduct so much as a press scrum since mid-December.

But this is probably what the next three months is going to look like. As prime minister, Trudeau has never deviated all that much from doing and saying whatever he felt like, and that tendency is probably going to get more overt now that he’s a lame duck.
