I have zero doubt that Justin will follow quite closely his fathers footsteps...why wouldn't he? His political knowledge and ideals were formed long ago and from a playbook that allowed his family to live at 24 Sussex for over 15 years. He knows all to well how to pander to the base that will keep him in power and where to pillage to make it happen.
My point was simply that invoking the ghosts of the past as reason not to vote for such and such a party today is pretty goofy.

Yes, he is your arch enemy's son - but really, honestly, do you see him as anything more than a shell? I see him as an empty vessel that is filled by the people surrounding him. Is that a bad thing? I don't know.

I do think that ascribing to him the conniving anti-western mastermind thing is a bit much, however.

For the record, we are on some kind of same page here - I'm not voting Liberal either.
