Canadians itching to see more co-operation from political leaders — or at the very least, more civility — may have reason to be optimistic.
At the COP21 climate change conference in Paris Monday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau posted the kind of photo that would have seemed improbable not so long ago.
The image on Twitter captures the prime minister and two of his key cabinet ministers posing with the premiers of Canada's four most populous provinces, the national chief of the Assembly of First Nations, a key Conservative critic, the leader of the federal Green Party, and an NDP leader who, just last month, fiercely battled Trudeau on the campaign trail.
