Trudeau got elected for two reasons. The first is that, when the last election was called, baby boomer women were still the single most important voting bloc in Canada, followed by Millennials. Baby boomer women (i.e. my mother’s generation), still go absolutely gaga and weak-kneed over the very MENTION of the word ‘Trudeau’. All of those, who still gush over how ‘handsome’ and ‘debonair’ Pierre was, just swooned at the very idea of being allowed the chance to vote for his ‘dreamy’ son. Even most conservative-leaning Canadians understood that Little Justin’s coronation was an inevitable thing, especially when he won over the almost monolithically left-leaning Millennial generation. Baby boomer (and older) males, the the comparatively tiny GenX cohort (of which I’m a part of), were essentially irrelevant against the support that Justin had on his side.
Canada has liberal roots and the Grits biggest worry isn’t the Conservatives, its the Dippers.
Ughhh.
Thanks for your perspective on Trudeau.
So the infatuation with the father’s abilities overshadowed his son’s faults.
Well, what can we say? Americans elected Zero twice.
