I do find it funny that people who were willing to vote for a 46 year old whose only relevant experience was a writing policy copy on contract for a right-wing think tank, feel that a 43-year old teacher is "too inexperienced." Frankly, neither guy is "experienced," but at least Trudeau has had a real job. Harper has done absolutely nothing with his life other than politics. I say this as a person who is far from Trudeau's biggest fan (though like many I cannot imagine he will be worse than Harper).
