   Voters lose in Trudeau’s deal with Adams: Editorial   
   Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau’s decision to welcome ex-Conservative Eve   
   Adams into his party feeds public cynicism.

   The last thing Canadian voters need is another reason to be cynical about   
   politics. What with a long litany of spending scandals, cover-ups,   
   opportunism and outright lying on all sides, there’s more than enough to go   
   around.   
      
   So it’s particularly disappointing – though not perhaps entirely shocking   
   for those accustomed to the low standards of our political life – that   
   Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau has once again chipped away at the foundations   
   of public trust with his embarrassing two-step with Conservative defector   
   Eve Adams.   
      
   There may be times when it’s entirely appropriate for a politician to make a   
   principled decision to cross the floor of the House of Commons and sit with   
   another party. This, clearly, was not one of those times.
