Pierre Pollievre is a career politician. He was first elected as an MP at age 25. He have enever had a job outside of politics. What does he have to show for it? What programs has he championed or bills passed that have improved people's lives?

@gracemarion499 1) We don't directly elect the PM in Canada, so for that plumber or electrician to become PM they would have to win the confidence of their party. 2) I would absolutely rather have a PM who has worked a regular job (beyond a paper route) than some greasy little ladder-crimber like Pollievre or Andrew Scheer. Conservatives have made fun of Trudeau for being a teacher and slowboard instructor but id see that experience as an asset not a hindrance. 3) Winning a party leadership should only be a means to an end, not an signature accomplishment in and of itself. I meant, what has PP accomplished in his 20 years in parliament that has materially benefited Canadians?

@nancyjohnson5483 I'm no fan of Trudeau personally or many of his governments polices but he still led his party to a majority, which has since been reduced to two minority govts. He wasn't "handed" the Prime Minister's job. Obviously name recognition helped but he also brought an attitude and ambition that was night and day from Stephen Harper.

@nancyjohnson5483 Is your point that he currently has a minoirty govt and needs the support of the NDP?

@gracemarion499 He's 44 years old and has been an MP for 20 years! He needs more time to do what? Build his pension?
