The second broken promise is one that the government has made, perhaps not explicitly but certainly implicitly, that they were going to make Canadians feel safer with all its talk of being tough on crime and defending the borders, the tough talk about war and about being tough in that context, and the talk about crime and about being tough on those criminals.
La deuxième promesse qui a été rompue, c'est la suivante : le gouvernement a promis, peut-être pas explicitement mais au moins implicitement, que les Canadiens se sentiraient davantage en sécurité.
