Ugh, heard this news this morning. Both my wife and I, two long-time Liberal voters, just shook our heads. If he wins (and barring a star candidate like Mark Carney entering the race, he's very likely to), I feel like I'll be completely in the political wilderness. I don't support the Conservatives because of their backwards social policies (see re-opening the abortion debate in the HoC today), and I don't support the NDP because of their ill-advised economic polices. During the Chretien/Martin years, the Liberals ideally matched my values: progressive on social issues while balancing the budget and creating an environment that allowed the economy to flourish. I have absolutely zero confidence that Justin Trudeau can/will do the same.
