I'm not a Conservative Party or Harper supporter by any means, but surely Harper took the longer road to get to where he did compared to Justin Trudeau. He was part of grass roots conservative movements in Canada back when "conservative" was bad word. While I don't share his views, I respect the path he took.
As for Trudeau, I think P.E. Trudeau was a better leader than some people in the west give him credit for, and I understand why they think that so I am not judging. If not for his father's name, Justin Trudeau wouldn't be a consideration at this point (although I do think he is likable, but it's not enough).
