I think the negative characterizations of Trudeau as naive and untested would suggest he's actually foolish enough to say what he means. If Trudeau said all the right things to get elected but never meant any of it, then he's a much cannier politician than his opponents made him out to be, because it worked.
I'm not sure just what to make of him yet. I think he puts a lot of stock in appearances and probably thinks most other people do too. (although he didn't get a hair cut for the ceremonies
) I, for one of many, question the rationale behind who he picked for cabinet, although individually I have nothing against any of them. I don't happen to think the exact 50/50 ratio for men and women is all that important....................I think the most capable and qualified person should get the job, period. When asked why the 50/50 ratio was important, he responded "it's 2015"!!.........................a nice way of saying 'mind your own business'. It's better for all of us if this government works so I hope it does. If I was a betting man I'd reserve 40% in expectation of the populace wishing Harper was back within two years, or probably better still Rona Ambrose.
