Comment: A gathering of mediocrities, all ludicrously out of touch with the population. O'Leary is no Trump, and Canadians aren't Americans. However, he could possibly win because Canadians are every bit as angry about political elites who haven't a clue what to do now that the economy is barely turning over. So, like Trump, there's the possibility of a sizable 'spite' vote ie. "voting for anyone but the establishment". All political parties need to tune-in to the timbre of the times: if you don't come up with some real solutions quickly, you'll be 'one and done'. Trudeau is wandering around the country as we speak because he is starting to hear the rumblings of discontent that could see him become a once promising one-termer who assumed he had lots of time and no need to produce, when in reality most have become very impatient.
