Nefarious. People running for office wanting to be elected. What's next? People responding to want ads because they want a job?

IFF, you stated he came back to Canada before politics. I posted that he came back for politics
period and that the U of T gig was merely a handy day job to launch his leadership bid from - Harvard being inconveniently in the U.S.
I would suggest that the U of T gig would absolutely NEVER enter his mind as an equivalent post as the one he left in Harvard. Meaning he came back for the Liberal leadership and ultimately PM. And the only reason was because some Liberal guys sold him on being the shoe-in saviour.
You said it yourself: Harvard egghead - $250K; backbench MP - $150K. He didn't come back to be an MP for noble service of his country. You want to talk about laughable!
