Canadian Liberal Leadership Election 2013

[DL]

So Joyce Murray - formerly a cabinet minister in Gordon Campbell's rabidly rightwing "BC Liberal" government - is coming out for cooperation on the left to defeat Harper. I guess she has experience with "cooperation", as a BC Liberal she was a powerful cabinet minister for a party that was created as a "unite the right" coalition to keep the NDP out of power.

What a hypocrit!

Is it just me, or does JT have no intellectual weight whatsoever? From what I've seen of him (admittedly little), he seems to be coasting on charisma and his father's image. Again, I have very little experience with Canadian politics and personalities, but Justin Trudeau seems to be a (charismatic and good at fundraising) lightweight.

That is a good description of Justin. he clearly takes after his mother Margaret much more than his father...he just mouths a lot of vapid platitudes and tosses his hair a lot.

What about the other Campbell? - GORDON Campbell. He was Joyce Murray's idol and mentor. She was a slavishly loyal senior cabinet minister in his fanatically rightwing government. Surely he would be 100% supportive of her plan to work with the NDP against the Conservatives...on second thought

Can anyone tell this uninformed Brit what's so great about Justin Trudeau?

NOTHING...he's just got a famous father
