As mentioned, those don't sit well out here, especially to those who worked in oil (or have family who do). Given how much they are already trotting him out more as Pierre Trudaues son than as Justin Trudeau, I don't blame anyone for going based on the name.
Exactly. Trudeau is being sold based on his father's name already. He will be accepted or rejected based on Pierre's legacy.

Seriously, the kid wasn't even an elected MP and people were trotting his name out as a leadership hopeful some day. Don't tell me for a second that he wasn't being supported based exclusively on his father's name.

Not surprisingly, idiocy surrounds a Trudeau, no matter which side of the spectrum you sit.
