Sure, all of the above would be true. Except I don't know what he does or did for employment.
But I suppose that by signing up to run for the NDP would be considered an interest in political life, no? Also the communist party guy actually sounds more qualified than maybe 5 other NDP MPs from Quebec, he also mentioned that that was really from an era in his life where he was young and stupid. Last I checked 19 was still considered 'adult' too, he could at least get a beer in any province he visits. The point was this guy has all the signs of a placeholder candidate, which is what this issue is about.
