This is basically the same argument that was made to justify making someone who was essentially a rookie backbench MP the Liberal party leader: His dad was Pierre Trudeau. Being born into Pierre's household might have given him a political inclination, but that hardly counts as "experience". Particularly since the most notable thing Justin did before entering politics was star in a CBC movie. He has spent most of his life being a pretty face with a famous last name. Albeit also a very good public speaker when he sticks to his script.
People can criticize Harper all they want, that doesn't automatically make Trudeau a great candidate to lead this country from a foreign relations perspective.
