My sister just came back from interning at parliament working under a MP from Vancouver, she had some interesting tidbits of info on the three party leaders, who she was around quite a bit.
She said that Mulcair is by far the most personable of the three leaders, and is the kind of guy who knows most of the cleaning, and security staff by name, and shares a very good relationship with Harper outside of their political rhetoric, Mulcair very obviously does not like Trudeau as well.
Harper, she has seen less of as he has commitments outside of ottawa, but he comes off way different in person,then how he is portrayed by the media. He is generally a nice guy who occasionally gets moody, but is pretty light hearted and laughs at himself more you'd expect, he also will talk trash about other staffers favourite NHL team's.
Trudeau is kind of a mixed bag, He somewhat acts like he's a celebrity, whereas Mulcair, and Harper act like friendly grandpa figures. He doesn't really talk to anyone outside of a few younger liberal MP's, He doesn't really interact with anyone else. Some of this might be due to him not trusting others when anything he says can and will be used against him. But he's not all that well liked by other MP's in parliament.
this is all obviously hearsay, but its too bad i could never vote for a NDP platform because of all three leaders Mulcair is apparently the best guy politics aside.
