Why is the editorial board so surprised?  Why do people never look past the "selfie" appeal of Trudeau the Younger?  What has he done with his life that qualifies him for his current role?  Nothing.  Part-time drama teacher and based on comments from his students not very good at that.  Ever led large groups? Any business success?  Ever managed a bottom line? I was no fan of Trudeau the Elder but at least he obtained some higher education as a lawyer.

Trudeau the Younger is the poster child for why we need a reformed political system.  Term limits.  No pensions.  Being a politician should not be seen as a form of employment or a "fun" place for silver spoon types like him.  It should be about public service.  Modest pay.  Short-terms.  Not a career.
