In light of the recent attack ads from the Harper camp to Justin Trudeau:
(email)
"Aside from working at a Conservative think tank Stephen Harper has never had a job outside of politics.....if you count running a conservative think tank as a job outside of politics.
Harper grew up reasonably well off as the son of an oil company accountant. Trudeau grew up very well off as the son of the Prime Minister.
Harper was first elected at the age of 34, Trudeau was first elected at the age of 37.
As hard as it is to believe Justin Trudeau has more real world experience than the Prime Minister did when he was elected to the office.
The Prime Minister wants you to believe that Justin Trudeau isn't a serious person because he hasn't had a "serious" job.
Sure Trudeau taught school, and was a camp counselor and bouncer at a bar, and a ski instructor. Those are all normal jobs that normal Canadians hold, they're also jobs where you are trusted with the safety of other people, where your knowledge and judgement are the only tools available to you.
Shocking, but if we're looking at resumes in a vacuum. Trudeau is better qualified to "understand" the life of the average Canadian."
