Welcome to the Trudeau Years – Part 2
Not that there was ever any doubt, but now that Mark Garneau has concluded there is no way he could overcome Justin’s lead in the Liberal leadership race, the younger Trudeau will take the helm on the 14th of April. I’ve been on record since I saw and heard him deliver his father’s eulogy that he would become leader of the Party and would some day lead the Country. Not because of a particular vision or Policy playbook, but simply, for better or for worse because of his charismatic character. There hasn’t been as compelling a political figure in the Nation since the mania that enveloped his father Pierre. He can fill any size room with his mere presence. It is quite a sight to witness. Say what you will about his lack of experience, intellect, vision or policy, but to ignore or dismiss his presence on the National stage is to be niave. I spoke earlier today with his father Pierre’s former press secretary Pat Gossage about Justin’s jaunt for leadership. http://bit.ly/WJDqgF
