With politicians it takes about 10 years after they voice their policies to know what they really are. Sometimes the exact opposite! :smile:

Liberals would win election under Justin Trudeau: exclusive poll | News | National Post
They are already running polls. Slow news month I guess.
Oh boy. Should prove interesting.
I can see the ads with a snazzy photo transition from PET to PET Jr, already.
No policies- No record to speak of and many that are his FB fans are under 30- Canada is screwed.
Well, like his father ......maybe he's done a little travelling .......and is aware what is going on ...in this world....he is also aware of the QUEBEC situation....although most Canadians want to think its not an issue...............I spent 3 years in Montreal...and found it very difficult to find people who even wanted to speak my broken terrible french.....they would only speak English to me......and one thing that Ontario and Quebec have very real in common.....jobs.......I don't know how many Canadians are aware 20 years ago Canada had an opportunity to get involved with a caribbean island called Turks and Caicos.........are you aware that little venture (resorts/golf courses.....)is under British ownership? Has a Canadian ever thought about what Canada actually has? For example if an American gets tired of New York....they can go to Hawaii.....Arizona......The British have the Bahammas......St Thomas?????/What does Canada have??????Newfoundland (love the people)....but I think I would rather be in Bahammas I THINK ITS TIME FOR CANADIANS TO START ACTING LIKE A BIG CANADIAN FAMILY.....SAVE OUR MONEY.....AND MAYBE THE NEXT TROPICAL ISLAND THAT COMES UP FOR SALE....MAYBE WE CAN ACT ON IT.....HOW MANY CANADIANS ACTUALLY HOLIDAY IN CANADA........AND IS IT ANYTHING LIKE TAKING A VACATION TO HAWAII ETC..............THINK ABOUT IT CANADA......MAYBE IF ALL CANADIANS STOPPED ARGUING WITH ONE ANOTHER.........SAVED OUR MONEY........TROPICALISLAND HERE WE COME
Most young people are flakey and have a commitment issues. I was once a full blown Liberal. I even voted for Jean Chretien in his first term. I also supported the conservatives through two minorities and at the beginning of this majority. Now, considering some of their actions I am not sure where my vote will go.
That does not change my opinion that Justin Trudeau lacks the experience to lead the Liberals to Government. Since the death of his father he has had rock star status with many Liberals and some media, but that does not qualify him. I would expect the Liberals to court someone like Frank McKenna, John Manley or even Dan McTeague. Not a piece of fluff like Justin Trudeau. Maybe in ten years, after he's held a few key positions, learned a thing or two and not simply rested on the record of his father.
Now the media is starting to call him boy wonder - not!
If he wins and gets killed by Harper's Conservatives, the Liberal Party will vanish into obscurity - as it should.

Perhaps , half right vancouverite 
IF Trudeau runs ,he will probably become leader of the liberals...
IF that becomes the case. The next Federal election will see the defeat of the Harper Conservatives. Bringing Canada back to a minority Gov..
Which will put a lot of Focus/Pressure on 1, Mr.Trudeau; and on his leadership abilites..
Ultimately giving him(not necessarily the liberals)the Ability/Political Power to steer Canada.. in 1 of 3 directions...However, I won't go any further/farther into that FUTURE right now..
..Let's see 1st if he's even gonna run...

If he's learned a thing or two he'll distance himself from his father by about 3 galaxies!
Well, GreenFish66, if Jr does become the leader, and the Harper government implodes like the Gordon Campbell government, then the NDP will take over.
Again ..Half right Vancouverite..lol..I think otherwise..But I WILL stop there...For now..Who knows what the future holds? ..Until J.T. makes his decision..
Just sayin' dude.
I'm not really a "Take a chance" kinda guy.
Especially with a personal and family history such as Jr's.
