Justin Trudeau to run for leader

[Natalka]

Thus the bell tolls for the end of the Liberal party... good news for Harper!

Justin is pretty, but has no sense, no leadership skills, and he is NOT his dad!

I agree and disagree. Definitely good news. I think a lot of people will vote for flash rather than substance while the people that vote for substance rather than flash will vote as we always have. Trudeau's flash will take the Liberals back to 2nd place and drop the NDP back to 3rd party where they belong. And we'll have another Conservative majority and another 4 years of responsible government.

This made my day.

Ta ta Mulcair.

haha you people act as if he is just a kid, the MAN is 40 years old. Plenty of life lived to gain experience , knowledge and more than just substance. I smell jealousy and it's not pretty. Makes you cons nervous to see real competition.

Kennedy was 43 when elected, Obama 47, Clinton 46, P.E. Trudeau 48, Stephen Harper 46, Brian Mulroney 45
so the "too young and inexperienced" argument doesn't hold water.

Back to the age of social justice in this country.

I didn't say anything about him being young. I said he lacks substance. Plenty of flash though.

He's like the Justin Bieber for the 30 and 40 somethings.

I agree with you Dave - and I respond in a similar way to Patty's comments - nothing against him because of his age. Being a little smart and cute - hair, smile, charm - aren't all a leader needs. He's much more like his mother than his father.

One thing that's too bad, because of his 'rockstar'-ness, who the heck will both ponying up the money to run against him?

Wonder if PET's daughter's mom will still be running for the leadership?

I'm not a big fan if kids of elitists being handed the legacy of there mother or father. Especially one with big plans. If he runs, left wingers in the west especially will just keep voting NDP.

I can't speak for all if the West but left wingers in BC always vote NDP anyway. The fortunes of the Liberal party out here have little downside risk.

His fathers legacy may be an asset with some voters but with others it will be a negative that he will have to work hard to overcome
