Justin Trudeau, keen to chart new territories of shallowness while packing as many clichés into as few sentences as humanly possible, reckons the “root cause” of the Boston bombings was whatever gave the bomber a feeling of “exclusion”. If only the neighbourhood welcome wagon had got to him earlier.

There is no escape: from the Anglican Church of Canada to foppish liberal politicians, one vice rules them all – exclusion.

In an interview with the CBC’s Peter Mansbridge that aired Tuesday night, Trudeau was asked how he would have responded to the attacks that killed three people and left about 170 injured.

Trudeau said he would offer the American material support “and at the same time, over the coming days, we have to look at the root causes.”

“Now, we don’t know now if it was terrorism or a single crazy or a domestic issue or a foreign issue,” he said. “But there is no question that this happened because there is someone who feels completely excluded. Completely at war with innocents. At war with a society. And our approach has to be, where do those tensions come from?
