Default It had to happen: Trudeau may run for Parliament
Will this guy be Prime Minister some day, just like the old man?

I don't know what Canada's infatuation is with the Trudeau's. One Trudeau running this country was enough.

If he became Prime Minister, and if he had policies towards the West like his pop, then I actually think I would consider leaving the country.

Consider? I would definitely be leaving, or at least move to Ontario

Stephane Dion is apparently reserving that particular riding for a star candidate he believes will help rebuild the party in Quebec, the newspaper said.

Is Justin not enough of a "star" for Dion? Who could create more juice than Justin?

He seems like a smart fellow. Good luck to him.

Good luck to any politician who can help us believe they're more than rats.

Will Ben Mulroney accept the challenge?

http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNew...1103/20051103/

Charismatic and appealing to all ages, Ben Mulroney's role as host of CTV's eTalk Daily couldn't be a better fit. Mulroney is front and centre, covering all aspects of the fast-paced celebrity world. From the Oscars to the JUNO Awards, Mulroney is well accustomed to the chaos of the red carpet.

I'd pay to see that.

I don't know if he's smart or not, but I always found him kind of an annoying in that "I'm so earnest and everything I do saves unicorns and small babies" kind of a way. A sap, if you will.

His love for Castro is also a little strange. The wealthy and pampered Canadian jetsetter pledging his allegiance to a communist and all that. If you like it so much Justy, give it all up and join a commune.

Yeah, but doesn't his foray into the world of Entertainment kind of take away from his credibility and appearances of having what it takes to run the country? Isn't that like having Ryan Seacrest as the next POTUS?

At least Reagan was govenor of a mini country (California) for 7 years prior, getting some political chops.

You got me on Jesse though!

Just about the last thing Canada needs is another Trudeau misrepresenting this country.

Three words: NATIONAL ENERGY PROGRAM.

Just in terms of redistribution of revenues, it cost Albertans somewhere around $225 billion.
