Trudeau and his team are a bust, that much should be clear by now. The bigger question though is, what depth is there in the other parties? The same motivation to replace Harper ("change") may also animate those who seek Trudeau's ouster in 2019. The Conservative leadership contest only revealed what a collection of mediocrities they all are. I am wiling to give Scheer some room to grow in to his role but beyond him I see little to inspire a cabinet. Meanwhile the NDP has chosen a man to lead them who preens and poses much as the PM does. The fact that people like Jenny Kwan are NDP MPs and the Leap Manifesto simmers in the background hardly fills one with hope that an NDP govt would lead to the socialist utopia they seek (quite the opposite). We are left with a stuffed shirt (when he is wearing one) leading the country with a similarly uninspiring gaggle of cynical, giftless operators awaiting their chance across the aisle. Change is unlikely to lead to an improved state of affairs.
