6. Trudeau has said he'll support it...

even though he kinda sorta disagrees with it.

As CBC points out, this "...seems particularly odd because the bill includes a measure that would let the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) apply for a warrant to ignore the charter. The charter is indelibly linked to Trudeau, as it was written and enacted under the Liberal government headed by his father, former prime minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau.

Trudeau said he wants to see the bill changed to include better oversight for CSIS and regular reviews of its measures. But, he said, his party will vote for Bill C-51 even without amendments.

Does anyone here have any thoughts about Justin Trudeau that they'd like to share? He basically strikes me as a pleasant man of average intelligence who is trying to follow in the footsteps of a father who was definitely above average. He does not strike me as much of an inspirational leader. Can anyone convince me otherwise? (That's a serious request.)
