And that proves what? It could just as easily have had an positive influence on his DNA. I think, by the crap being thrown in his direction, that the cons are terrified that he will run. I have no interest in the Liberals but if Trudeau scares Cons, I would vote for him just to piss them off.
He doesn't scare the Cons at all. Not in the least bit.

P.S. Weed can't alter DNA.

FWIW-Pierre Elliot Trudeau was the most modern PM this country has ever seen-there will never be another like him mainly because of his unique combination of intellect & education.

"Modern" all right but very few old fashioned values! :lol:

If'n they ain't, why they slagging the dude?

I know that but it looked like you were inferring it does with your remark about Margaret.

Neither does anyone else with brains.
Don't know why anybody would want to be in politics. Either they are all brain dead,ego maniacs or crooks.

His mom was probably baked on hash when she was carrying him.

So we insult a mother for the acts of her son? I guess we can blame Hitler's mother too for all his acts?

It is ignorant comments like this that inspire me to want to piss of Cons.

Voting for someone just to piss someone else off might be the problem we have in Canada. There are some good Conservative MPs just as tehre are some good Liberal ones and some good NDP ones. Judge each on his merits.

And don't forget his assholism.

Margaret was recented interviewed on C.B.C. and she pretty made a full disclosure about a mental condition that plagued her for much of her past. Happily she seems to have largely overcome the challenges she had. I don't think a person who is mentally ill should EVER be condemned, but by the same token I would suggest that the situation certainly did have repercussions of some sort on her family, but attaching blame is futile!

Many are all three.

What are the qualifications for a "band aid" leader? :smile:

Generally that would refer to someone that would at least stop the hemorrhaging if not cure the disease brought on by the last several leaders. That would not be anyone with close connections to the old guard.

And as a response to the thread title, no one person can save a party. If the party has a brillian party leader, but all the rest of the candidates are idiots, it might win the leader a seat in the House, but many of the other party members might still lose their seats. Or at least we'd hope it's like that.

And even if the leader is an ideiot but some of the other party members are brilliant, we'd hope the opposite.
