NDP Leadership.

It will be interesting to see how he does. He certainly has charisma and youth. Quebec may be his problem. Trudeau may lose some previous NDP voters because of his record. Scheer has declared himself a feminist and is trying hard to distance himself from the far right wing of the party. The only way to get elected in this country is to move to the centre. I expect Trudeau will be around for another term.

likely wont get a single seat in Quebec. Sad to say, looks likey turdeau has 2nd majority on the way.

Provided no-one gets knifed between now and 2019, Justin Trudeau will be the oldest of the serious contenders. That is pretty impressive considering he will only be 47. Scheer and Singh will be just 40. Elizabeth May on the other hand will be 65. 65 is probably more about the age we would think most politicans in senior positions would be.

In British or American politics, would the population take anyone that young seriously? Paul Ryan and Sarah Palin are really the only notable exceptions that I can think of as of late, being 44(palin) and 42(ryan) at the time they ran for VP. I guess Harper was 43 when he took the reigns of official opposition leader, but he was 47 when vying for the top job.

Both Tony Blair and David Cameron were elected UK Prime minister at 43. Most have been older for sure.

This might help with BC taking votes from the idiot Trudeau. Ontario a few seats. Might take the idiot out.

Trudeau didn’t win by a landslide

Tony Blair was nearly before my time. His election surely was. But for some reason, without really looking into it, I thought Cameron was older than 43.

In many countries lately parties select someone that represents themselves instead of a whole country.Then they wonder why they lost cause obviously their ideals are 100% right and the majority is wrong.

fjlip, I just read somewhere that he may steal liberal votes in BC and parts of Ontario. He is a Sikh not a muslim.

Ya, my wife even corrected me, and CBC LOVES him , go SEEK Justin out and KICK his ASS!

[seldomseen]

I really thought Charlie would have got the job. The media was always focused on him.

This other guy I had never heard about until this race.

[sawfly1]

it is a weird one, but maybe exactly what we need.

i must be old and Conservative, ( god forbid ) for an ndper ,but you do not have to govern
to make a imprint on the nation. ( which is good )

is it a case , of the NDP leading from the sidelines.
because thats where they will be. i think

i have no patience for any religion, so this is a tough pill to swallow.
i do not know , if he is just honoring his heritage or what
i guess no worse than any other religion

not that i have a clue what Sikhs are about anyway.

i guess i have to be inclusive, as i tend to think all religion is silly
i have to learn to be more tolerant.

Tommy Douglas was a heaven on earth guy, and between him and Loyd , you got medicare.
so religion is not all bad
