Hey, ya never know. Politics is all about marketing now and this guy has that figured out. His business sense would be spot on too. I say bring it on.

He's a loud mouth. Whoever runs the show needs to be able to speak, and listen. It might also help to have some meaningful political experience...
Politics is marketing and negotiation skills. Being a loudmouth is a marketing tool. So far JT has pretty well shown us he isn't going to listen to anybody who disagrees with him. Being a PM with a majority he doesn't really have to for another 3 years.
Scary.
Much as he is smart, and would certainly have a far better grasp of things than either the naive idealist, or fat cats of socialism. He does represent all thats wrong of the right. Just another robber baron advancing himself at the cost of others. No different than the Libs and Unions here in Ontario.
All that's wrong? Successful in business, articulate, bilingual, big contributor to charity. Not sure I see that as everything that's wrong. Still not convinced a guy like him would get elected though and that is the end goal. Even if I like him if he can't get elected I wouldn't vote for him to be leader.
Loudmouths do not make it in politics. If Trump makes it to the US presidency, I might have to rethink that, but I think I'm right.
Being able to *NOT say what's on your mind* is very important in politics. See Tim Hudak's conservative election win in Ontario in 2014. Oh wait a minute - that didn't happen because someone couldn't keep is unpalatable (to most voters) ideas to himself.
Canada is too politically correct and Center Left for the guy. He wouldn't get elected. Like Jack Nicholson said "we can't handle the truth".
Great point...Quote:

Does he understand economics and business? Yep, in spades and he's walked all over people getting there. Taken advantage of people getting there. Even with his millions, he robs people blind.You think he treat his employees well?
As opposed let's say to a PM who billed charities and school boards to read prepared speeches while collecting a taxpayer paid salary?
