Even as reports emerged that Driver, a known terrorist sympathiser, was involved and had been killed, it was unclear whether there was still an active public safety threat. Fear outweighed confidence as Canadians had to rely on assumptions and media reports to piece together what was happening. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau didn’t even emerge from his extended vacation to assure Canadians he was monitoring the situation, let alone that the necessary resources were being devoted to maintaining public safety and order.
...it took Trudeau himself more than 25 hours from the time of the explosion to tweet his gratitude to the RCMP “for their work in Strathroy yesterday,” without issuing any statement regarding cooperation with the FBI, the threat of terrorism and homegrown radicalization, or anything other than Canada’s Olympic successes, for that matter. Apparently his vacation came first.

Honestly, Obama could have done so much with his opportunity. And he did mostly all the wrong things with it.
With the charisma he can turn on and his ability to make a speech when he wants ... he could have done so much to bring us all together. I weep for the lost opportunity.

Obama accomplished exactly what he wanted to accomplish.
