The Root Cause of Centralization in the Trudeau Ministry

The centralization in the Trudeau ministry stemmed from the context in which the Liberal party ascended to power after a decade of defeats. The party had many new members without political experience, thus leading to a need for central coordination. Initially, trust-building exercises were conducted to solidify the team, but external factors like Trump's presidency and China's adversarial stance led to emergency measures becoming permanent. This shift in attitude towards dissent ultimately resulted in the centralization within the ministry.
