Some comments on Justin Trudeau's election --- Part 1

Trudeau yelled to a B.C. crowd what his first law would be as prime minister:

“The very first bill we’ll introduce into Parliament will cut taxes for the middle class by raising them for the wealthiest one per cent,” said Trudeau, in Surrey.

“You’ll pay less income tax on incomes between $45,000 and $90,000, and that means you’ll see more money from your paycheque right away,” he added

“He had a very positive platform and vision. I think people were getting fed up with the negativity,” said former Liberal leader Bob Rae.

Bob Rae says the 2015 victory has parallels to the party's 1993 win, when Liberal leader Jean Chrétien, waving a red book of promises, decimated a deeply unpopular right-of-centre government to just two seats.

The victory ushered in three Liberal majority governments, and one minority government, keeping Liberals in power for 13 years.

I don't think we can draw a parallel between Justin Trudeau and Jean Chrétien.

There's a big difference between running a campaign and governing.

Justin Trudeau has little experience. He doesn't have the experience Jean Chrétien had as a long-time cabinet minister.

So, we don't know how Trudeau will govern.

What will happen to the NDP and Conservatives?
