Rocket scientist challenges for Liberal leadership against rock star

Joseph Jean Pierre Marc Garneau, the Liberal House Leader and Member of Parliament for the electoral ditrict riding of Westmount—Ville-Marie, decided to blast off Wednesday, as the rocketman tried his best to catch up to his rival the rockstar Justin Trudeau, from next door as the MP of Papineau. Recognizing his only major point to create some conflict and contention would be with the economy, Garneau has already made it his centrepiece of his campaign, veering wide right to cut off Trudeau. They both collide on the point of energy and the environment, as each favour a conditional Northern Gateway Pipeline takeover by Chinese government owned oil interests, will continue to do so in the future on many other points we are sure.

Both men share a burning ambition to lead their party and the nation, however both honourable in their quest, as valiant, faithful and just leaders forget their Shakespare, particularly their Caesar.

Deciding who will play Julius and who will be Brutus will be the Canadian public at large, to be read the middle class, who are more busy trading in stocks and bonds to get by with cash, rather than carbon. Though a call to progress forward by Garneau, beyond the Harper throwback to our colonial past is great, the problem for the nation right now is can it find the capital, means and ways to do it, or in all likelihood so to regain its lost confidence. This is the place where a Trudeau plays the part of the archetypal candidate, one who can bring that confidence back through his youthful outlook on life, love and laughter as only Canadians can, maybe the Canadian people need a leader who can take on serious political matters with a self deprecating act of humor, not only for the votes, but perhaps just for laughs.
