Stephen Harper did a part-time master's in economics while he worked in a mail room during the day.  That hardly makes him an expert at anything.  JT's English degree from McGill with his debating sideline, coupled with B.Ed. training, on paper makes him pretty qualified for any CEO role.  His childhood spent with his father during the gestation of the Charter of Rights gives him an unique understanding of Canada to boot.

Don't be surprised if JT pulls the whole thing out of the dumpster, though I admit with the Trump troll prospects are looking dimmer by the minute.
