Agreed, LH. Trudeau is wealthy and, we hope, has a big heart because we hope that his old man's sense of fair play, commitment to what is right and sheer toughness was instilled in him by PET but he doesn't have the wealth it takes to tell big money to fuck off and be backed up by the current bunch of lackies in Parliament so it'sa crap shoot with him. Add the above posts and Pierre's yer uncle.

Maybe the social networking he may may be able to accomplish could make a dent in the armour but it seems unlikely. Same with LeBlanc but I would trust LeBlanc far moreso to that effect. He's got the network and, after all, if Dominic fucks up, he will have to answer to Beauséjour and he could end up as lobster bait... them Kent County boys don't fuck around... we are talkin Irish and French good ol boys. I dunno about yer big city types what might give Trudeau the finger er write a goddamn letter but these lads will burn yer shit down. He has the social network AND the comeuppance to do/have to do a good job.

Sigh... I really don't think he will run unless there is a deal cooked up.

As far as Marc? This ain't rocket science, this is politics. He could... if a deal is cooked up.
