Unfortunately, he is not inept, just an egotistical1 idealogue2 with a power fetish3.

he maintains a gallery of self portraits at the parliament buildings
despite ample proof that mandatory minimum sentences don’t work, and that super-max style prisons are unnecessary, he’s working on both. Also, environment.
he hides unpopular legislation, like Canada’s version of the DMCA, in bills that are purported to be about something else. Anti-cyberbullying in the latest case.

I agree with and understand all that you have posted but, as a polite Canadian, felt that the term ‘inept’ was better suited than to try and paint a picture of a power hungry, evil despot. Thank-you for your kind assistance in that effort.
