So here’s the oft-hailed future savior of Canada’s Liberal Party Justin Trudeau (son of that Pierre Trudeau, the 1970s and 1980s Canadian prime minister).
He’s shown here at a charity boxing match with Conservative Senator Patrick Brazeau from Thursday. Apparently, Defence Minister Peter MacKay (the leader of the Progressive Conservative party at the time of its merger with Stephen Harper’s western Canada-based Canadian Alliance) totally wimped out of Trudeau’s challenge.
Stats: 40 years old, 6’2″ and 175 pounds. Not bad for someone who places top among voters in the 2013 Liberal leadership race, even though he ruled out a run six months ago.
Certainly a better bod than Bob Rae, Stephen Harper or Thomas Mulcair (but let’s see what André Boisclair is up to these days).
