In terms of the controversy over C-51, he's both defending his support and promising to modify it if elected. Whatever one thinks of Harper or Mulcair's respective ideologies, they are both far less likely to equivocate the way Trudeau does.

I keep hearing this "only brought him in for his name" comment and then I look and realise he is also the only one who has actually brought out any ideas in the last what...6 months? I mean you don't like it, but that policy release this week that included the end of the FPTP system amongst a number of other proposals is a significant idea. You might also recall he came out in favour of non-partisanship with the senate and removed the Liberal senators from the Liberal caucus.
I'm not surprised by your derision or dislike, but this doesn't seem like a guy who has no new ideas and nothing to offer. You might disagree with these things, but they're actually very interesting political proposals and policies. The senate move and resulting discussion did far more to move the entire senate discussion forward than anything Harper has done in the past decade for example.
