I think what really turned people off about the Conservatives' campaign was how negative it was, how it tried to divide people and put fear into the minds of everyone. Had Harper chosen to do a campaign that was more inclusive and positive and that didn't alienate women and minorities, he could have won. He did position himself as a veteran whose been there done that, but it backfired because it was negative.

I want to think I didn't drink the kool-aid, but change can be good. It feels as though Canada is stagnant right now. It needs fresh leadership. Maybe Trudeau isn't the man for the job, but a good leader surrounds himself with quality people. Time will tell, but just based on his pedigree, he will want to leave a positive legacy.
