There’s a rule of thumb in politics that goes something like it’s OK to be feared, disliked or even loathed just so long as you’re not being laughed at and mocked.
Yet that’s where Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is now finding himself after being teased for his new haircut. The comparisons came in right away: Trudeau’s close-cropped new look made him a dead ringer for Jim Carrey in Dumb & Dumber. If you haven’t seen the film, the title tells you all you need to know. It’s not good to be compared to this character.
I suspect Junior is Kathleen Wynne 2.0.
In her last election campaign everyone tuned her out.
The damage she and McGuinty inflicted on the brand reduced the Liberals to fringe status.
Let’s hope Junior masters the same party trick.
