There's no doubt that anger and frustration predates our current Trudeau. I grew up on the other side of the country, in Cape Breton: We've got a particular strain of frustration and alienation back home, too. But that's why it requires politicians to keep that frustration and alienation in their heads at all times, so they don't — unwittingly or intentionally — inflame that sentiment.

I think they have a harder time getting genuinely mad at someone who shows up on their doorstep, or who walks into Timmy's. Maybe it's optimism, but I think the solution to that frustration is still inter-personal. (And, well, a lot of other stuff, too.)
