... he seems to be doing an okay enough job of hanging himself. He's saying stupid enough things right now, and I feel like he might actually be vulnerable to attacks from the right from opportunistic grifters like Maxime Bernier. I'd love to see the NDP win, but I'd be happy to just keep Scheer out if we have to deal with Trudeau s'more.

Trudeau is disappointing in a lot of ways, but at least he's not a disaster.

of canadian jewels like Lavalin he's not so bad. The attorney general had the option of heavy fines for lavalin and the corruption. American hedge funds are buying up canadian big businesses. I'm with Trudeau. He's not cool like his father but he is a good egg.

I don't think he's a bad Prime Minister, but electoral reform was one of his planks, and he completely abandoned it because he wasn't getting the type of reform that he wanted.

“We are committed to ensuring that the 2015 election will be the last federal election using first-past-the-post.” - Trudeau
