Not that I'm huge on the guy either, just wanna keep the facts straight.

Except that he hasn't done much or achieved much in his time in parliament. He's never done much in terms of strong policy placement or decisions. He's coasted on his name. He's taken time out of parliament to do paid public speaking terms. He's never really held an important shadow cabinet position, or stood out as a strong voice in government.
Its similar to his whole life, he's been a part time drama teacher.
Except for his looks and his pretty basically catchphrase based talking point, he is a guy that's coasted on his trust fund, bragged about his lavish wedding and positioned himself as a basic stand for nothing candidate who caters to Eastern Canada and more specifically Quebec.
Oh but he knocked out an equally bad member of the political circle in a boxing match.
When it comes time to get into actually leading a party, and leading a party in an election I think the Liberal's are going to regret backing that horse instead of someone like Marc Garneau who can actually have an adult conservation and not sound like Matt Damon from Team America.
The Conservatives and NDP are going to be prepared for this kid. The NDP is going to scrap hard to consolidate their seats and further gut the Liberals, Harper is probably one of the most canny political operators that this country has seen since Justin's dad, I would rank him above Chretien who had a fairly easy time with a fractured right and a NDP party who's members at the time had just graduated from Clown college.
There will also be a special point in pride if one of Mulcair or Harper can end the Trudeau mystique.
I'm looking forward to the next election, its going to be a nasty brawl.
