From what I heard, Harper was blamed for what was characterized as a bad economy. I'm guessing his opposition convinced voters they were in dire straits and the only one to lead them out of this supposed mess was to elect the commie Trudeau.

Sounds vaguely like the tactics used by Obama and his supporters against George Bush.

Your comment on what was heard fairly close to the facts. Week in week out the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, chipped away at Stephen Harper. Added to that the newspapers of note got in their ten cents worth.

Justin Trudeau cut a figure befitting a matinee idol. Now there was only an 8.1% vote that swung the election. Previously the Conservative won the majority with 39% and Liberals 31.8% NDP got 22%. Last time out in August the Liberals got 39% and Conservatives 31. It was a swing vote of 8.1% that counted. Such are vagaries of the parliamentary system.

Justin Trudeau showed up at the airport to give out winter coats to the new arrivals from Syrian problems. He is able to milk photo ops to a fine art. It is an absolute love affair for a number of Canadians. Alas, Americans have seen it all before with their President.

A bit of a rant here, but with the first snow coming in Ontario, I had to vent.
