He's got very small nipples. Or is that just because it's Canada?

Yes Canadians have small nipples but fuck we have big balls

Justin Trudeau at pride

 

[bankside]

Poor choice. Not ready. Great Canadian...Great parliamentarian, with a bright future, but he'd get massacred right now. The smartest thing he ever said was a couple of years back when people were speculating about his leadership chances and he suggested that Canadians who thought he was ready for the job should have their heads examined. He's still not there yet.

Harper, useless creature that he is, was at least smart enough to back out of politics until he was ready to not just try for the top job, but take it.

I'd want to see him in cabinet first to season him up a bit if it were possible. Or maybe some other kind of life experience.

Aggreed. But Justin WILL be Prime Minister. LikeTiexgrr said, if he's half the man his father was, we'll be fortunate to have him. And I posted his pic here months age. He's so hooottttttttt!!!!!

This is all true, but unfortunately the Liberal Party of Canada doesn't have that kind of time. They need someone right now to re-energize and rejuvenate the brand, and to get Canadians excited about them again. I don't see anyone else waiting in the wings that can do that. Ready or not, the Liberals need a star right now and Justin is it.

 

[titmouse]

Not a Liberal, but if he can put the NDP back into the oblivion they deserve I'm for him.I think his dad was the worst thing thats happened to this country since confederation.

 

[mikey3000]

No. Mulrooney has that honour.

It would be nice if there was a chance for him to be in cabinet but with the liberals with only 30 seats and probably with chance of not forming the government for a long time it might not happen. He is the party's only hope to drag them out of the desert.

I don't know much about his life experience but I'm sure he is well educated in the ways of Canadian politics especially with having a dad who was the Prime Minister that helped transformed Canada with helping to repatriate The Constitution and include in it The Charter of Canadian for Rights and Freedoms. We may not have same sex marriage without that document

He's youthful and looks like he cares.

This is a picture of Justin Trudeau and Dixie Landers

I think Canada has had enough of seasoned politicians (aka lawyers). Maybe it really is time for a change. Give the youth a chance. Besides, he's 41, not 19. Or we can always have Bob Rae.

I completely agree.

Bob Rae knew he had no chance and abandoned ship. Also something he did by being part of the NDP and jumping over to the Liberals.

Definitely not leadership material. I'm glad he's not running for the leadership.

 

[bankside]

Bob Rae was a good interim leader. He did the right thing by confirming he will not run for the permanent leadership of the party.

He only decided not to run because he knew it was a lost cause. He should have retired a long time ago.

 

[voyager1994]

Canadians voters are probably among the most intelligent in the world - Harper has had to lead a series of minority goverments before finally getting the majority he needed in the last elections and that came about only to punish Ignatieff and Duceppe so these two would finally shut up - afterall these forced elections every two years were costly and untimely when the rest of the world is going thru financial crisis.

Let the Liberals elect JT as their leader and then let the Canadians decide.

We will decide and it will probably will be Justin Trudeau

 

[mikey3000]

Oh God! Just the mention of Ignatief makes me shudder.

I am a total novice about Canadian politics.

What I know, I read in my weekly Macleans.

But Justin seems to charismatic in the same way his father was.

He has all the right attributes...Trudeau bloodline, well educated, sexy as fuck, and youth (41 is the PERFECT age to run for office).

The question I pose to my neighbours is "What do you think of him as a leader?" Is he the real deal?

 

[bankside]

His father, Pierre Trudeau, had an intellect that was simultaneously like a finely honed blade, and a freight train running at high speed. «La raison avant la passion» (Reason before Passion) was his motto, and his clear-thinking determination kept the country together through a separatist temper-tantrum in Québec, and delivered the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which is the masterpiece underpinning the equality of gay people, and so despised by the current theoconservative government.

I do not envy Justin's task, to make his own contribution which makes use of his father's legacy without being limited by it. He seems reasonably smart. He seems affable. He certainly has a reflexive compassion for his fellow citizen which would serve a just leader well.

I think it would be fair to say that he might question whether we should be quite so Vulcan as to put reason before passion in all matters, including matters of state. As I am disposed to his father's way of thinking, I find this to be an uncomfortable disconnect. Asset, or liability? I don't know. That's why I want to see more of him in a context where we're not just yet asking the country to entrust itself to his skills.

I am sorry about Bob Rae. He was a failure as Premier of Ontario. He picked the wrong party back then, and they goverened badly. That did not stop him from being recognized for the valuable contribution he made in Parliament, but he could never have taken the top job. Perhaps if he had served as a cabinet minister, he could have overcome the legacy, but he would never be given the country's top job wihtout that kind of "time served."

Justin will run and win. He'll probably have to prove himself as leader of the Official Opposition first, after the next election. Doubt the Conservatives will lose in 2015. As much as people like to bad mouth Harper, he knows the most important thing Canadians care about right now is the economy and the government has done an outstanding job given the circumstances. I'm hopeful to see a Justin Trudeau PMO in the future.

Poll: Trudeau would nearly double Grit vote

I think he's the real deal. A lot better then alternatives.
