    <p>> equating JT with Harper which is dangerously misleading<br>
      On what do you base the above statement?<br>
    </p>
    <p>The one big takeaway I had from the U.S. election (and I followed
      it closely from mid 2015 from my vantage spot in Los Angeles) is
      that people pay far more attention to style than substance. 
      Behind Barack Obama's good looks, charm, humour and idealistic
      talk is a guy who supported Wall Street over main street, 
      presided over a net zero decrease in CO2 omissions and bombed the
      hell out of a lot of brown people among the most nefarious of his
      many sins.  <br>
    </p>
    <p>So before one dismisses any Trudeau/Harper comparison it behooves
      one to carefully look at all the Harper *shtuff* that JT is *not*
      going to undo and all the shtuff that he has/is planning to do.  
      I suspect that JT will not look so good after a careful
      examination of his deeds rather than his charming utterances.  <br>
    </p>
    Best,<br>
