When Harper lost power, he was up against a young progressive, who trolled out his eye candy wife and his young family man image with his young kids. In other words, someone just like the Voters, .... Without the 50 Million Trust Fund of Course!!!
Harper was old and grey, and curiously ALONE on the stage.
Who ever Harper's handlers were did not understand that you fight fire with fire. What a bunch of amateurs! Running the attack ads did little to sway the Voters.
Harper had his record of a Decade of growth and prosperity to flaunt, but did not do so.
Yes JT may be having some real world problems this time around pulling out the wife and kids and being seen as a progressive, but Voters are like car buyers. They go for the looks, not the substance.
What voters hate is increased taxes, increased debt, inflation, and loss of buying power. Regardless of how "green" the voter thinks he is.
We are all in it for the money at some level. If not, you would live on the streets helping the poor and down trodden drug users, and spending all your money to make those who would take all your money to buy more drugs that much happier.
That is the trouble of social justice fashion. Few will put their own money down to support what they espouse.
JT has no answer for the mis handling of the Economy and the National Debt.
JT has no justification for the tens of millions Canada has spent in Afghanistan while our First Nations communities turn into Third World Ghettos under a corrupt leadership.
JT has no connection with the World Super Powers to give Canada fair treatment on the World Stage.
While Harper lacks the curb appeal, he can answer for all that JT has bungled, but the Conservatives need someone with Curb Appeal, to get elected.
That's just how fickle and short sighted the Voters have always been.
