The National Post reports in its Saturday edition that the end of the year is always prone to some self-reflection from our political leaders, and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been making the rounds to several media outlets. The Post's Catherine Levesque writes that Mr. Trudeau is known to be more talkative and candid in his French interviews and this year was no exception, with Quebec TV hosts asking him if he was dating anyone new. For all those who were wondering, the short answer is: probably not. He insisted that his children are his priority right now and strongly hinted that he has no time for romance. Here are other things he said during year-end interviews with Quebec networks TVA and Radio-Canada that aired this week: He is optimistic about the next election. Speaking to TVA, Mr. Trudeau said it is normal to blame the government for their frustrations, but said he hopes that interest rates will start to go down in the new year, which could alleviate some of the struggles people are facing. Mr. Trudeau also said that poll numbers mean "nothing" two years away from the election. Speaking about federal Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, he said, "He may be fighting against me, but I don't really care."
