Everyone is a rookie at some point, but previous experience in politics is certainly a help.
I dont get the dislike for Kenney at all. He was a long time advocate for taxpayers before transitioning into the political arena. The CTF may not be your cup of tea, but it at least led to real world experience in dealing with governments at the benefit to common people.
Compare that to the girl who won in Quebec who lives 3 hours away from her riding and was a pub manager at a university, and from what the media can figure out, never attended her riding once during the campaign.
Stark difference.
