Yeah, when you look at most high level politicians in Canada, they usually come from well-to-do families. Most fairly well off if not downright rich.

It's not like Trudeau just sat on his trust fund and played shuffle board on a yacht somewhere. He became a teacher and devoted himself to public service and charity. He certainly isn't the playboy his father was at least. The whole birth status thing does bother me a little, but I think it can only carry someone so far before they have to stand on their own.
