"Attack politics, divisive politics, negative, stirring up of hate and fear and differences -- the dirty secret is they work. Even back in 2015 -- they work to get you elected, you can do that, you can mobilize [unintelligible] It's just, what we're seeing is that once you've used those methods to get elected, it becomes incredibly hard to govern responsibly for all citizens, in bringing people together, in getting big things done. Because once you start churning up anger it just feeds on itself, and if you're not continualy throwing fresh raw meat at it, it will get away from you entirely. And that's where we're seeing in Canada, a certain number of people who stirred up that, starting to have it turn back against them a little bit." -- Justin Trudeau, on Pod Save the World, 2022-06-08 (at about 1:05:08 to 1:06:03 in the podcast, 0:12:10 to 0:13:04 in the video, which has the segments in a different order)
