Treat Sophie Grégoire-Trudeau Objectively

As soon as it became public that Prime Minister Trudeau's wife, Sophie Grégoire-Trudeau, needed additional support staff to handle the growing demand for her attention, opposition parties and the media wasted no time in criticizing her, unfairly from my perspective. The tendency to compare Sophie's schedule to that of her predecessor, Lauren Harper, is without merit. Political affiliation aside, the Trudeau's popularity far exceeds that which has been seen in many years. Rather than simply denouncing the idea of additional support staff, fairness suggests the request be evaluated by someone with no vested interest in the outcome. It is only by conducting an objective review, one without any sort of a self-serving political agenda, that we can determine actual need. (And I did not even vote for the Liberals)
