Trudeau Redux?

[justinsb]

Justin Trudeau has gone from saying "never" and "no way" when asked about running for office. The last time he was asked, shortly after his wedding, he said "you never know" with a knowing smile on his face. Is this going to be Paul Martin's successor?

1. What Are You

Smoking?

2. I know nothing about his politics - and neither does anyone else

And to say that the son will carry on his father's dream is myth and rumour.
Let him win a seat first - then we'll talk.

3. I understand...

I know that he is a environmentalist and fairly involved in children's issues. But if he is running, and it would appear that he's thinking about doing something, who in the liberal party would really be in his way?

12. True. Not like they have a stable of contenders out there

Bill Graham? Nuh-uh.
Art Eggleton? Please.
Anne McLellan? *retch*
Tony Valeri? LOL!

15. They Could Go To The BullPen...

Manley and Tobin as well as McKenna I am sure have toe dipped in the water...

4. Sasha's a better bet

better looking too.

5. Maybe, but

I saw the clip where they asked the question and the look on his face and the tone of his answer basically said that something was happening.

6. Doesn't matter

Neither will make it

7. I don't see anything stopping them

After Martin there is no heir apparent in the Liberal caucus - not on the federal level anyway.

8. Plenty of them

and nobody wants a rehash of Trudeau.

He has his place in history. The sons are quite different.

There is no intergenerational magic ya know.

9. Time will tell

I think you might be surpised though.

11. A 'name'

will only get you so far.

It takes far more than that.

So far Justin hasn't stuck to anything for more than 15 minutes, and never shown any interest in politics.

Stop making a 'star' out of the guy just because of his name.

There are 2 other kids you know. How many stars do you want?

We have far better qualified people.

On edit: And he's way too young.

10. hold on a minute ...

Don't we already have a hereditary monarchy in this country?

Let's leave the self-appointed variety to our neighbours to the south, eh?

Me, I might join the Liberal Party just to make sure this does *not* happen. Paul M. is one hereditary member of Her Majesty's Privy Council for Canada too many already.

13. Spawn of PET, get bent

Have we not learned any lessons from the Bush Dynasty?


Please help, donate to have politicians spayed or neutered.
