24,000 out of 30,000 votes cast - yikes, if that's a gauge of his popularity across Canada Harper is toast (we can only hope)

Now. let's see if he can live up to what we (? *I*???) want him to live up to. And don't tell me he doesn't have to... he must... I expect and will accept nothing less. But, with 80%, I can't see that as tooo much of a problem.

Harper toast? Nah... he's crumbs on the breakfast table (Jethro Tull song).

I am HAPPY! But, we'll see.

Damning with faint praise:

"The Conservative Party of Canada was quick with its comment on the new Liberal leader.

In a statement, the Tories congratulated Trudeau on his win but immediately cast doubt on this ability to lead the country.

"Justin Trudeau may have a famous last name, but in a time of global economic uncertainty, he doesn't have the judgment or experience to be prime minister," the party said in a statement."

Hitting the right note?

"And, although saying he is focused on addressing the environment and the economic problems of middle-class Canadians, he avoided laying out specific policy prescriptions. He said drawing up a Liberal platform requires widespread input from Canadians."

Though they are very different, of course Justin will be compared to his Prime Minister father. Who else would they compare him to? Outside the looks.

But, I suspect it is like comparing Ben Mulrooney to Brian Mulrooney .

bobad,
What's your problem with Mulr$ney?
Do you have the audacity to feel that Prime Ministers should not accept financial consideration from shady German AirBus promoters passing money stuffed envelopes in foreign hotel rooms. After all it's not like he was taking a bribe because that would be illegal and would bring shame to the Conservatives. If the Conservatives don't feel shame surely that proves that accepting those money stuffed envelopes is acceptable to the government of the day and therefore not illegal!
