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).

Not to mention that Trudeau was pretty much born into a politics environment. If Trudeau were to become PM at an age 2 years younger than Harper was when he became PM, I don't think that additional 2 years of life experience would necessarily amount to more "political" experience.
