Canadian Liberal Leadership Election 2013

I still think once the average Canadian gets to know Trudeau more, they will realize he's not his father.

But I really don't know who can save the Liberals. Rae will play out horribly in Ontario.

But how well will Canadians get to know him unless he wins? Leadership elections aren't the same as parliamentary elections in terms of candidates getting to know the public.

Ha! I think it's really funny that Trudeau gained popularity after he won that boxing match, almost as if everyone was thinking, "He's a great boxer, he MUST be a great party leader!" I mean, he beat a conservative in the ring, which means he MUST want to beat them in elections (already a given), and his participation in the match at all seems to mean he wants to run for the party leadership.

I know it's not that simple, but the conclusions some people seem to have drawn, especially journalists, are so presumptive and, quite frankly, ridiculous. Technically the match wasn't supposed to be about politics but we all know it was, but THIS, is just so silly...
