Related: About this forumSomebody Check the Thermometer in Hell - Toronto Sun Endorses Justin Trudeau
Put aside everything we have said before.
Reality speaks volumes, and Sun Media, more than any other news organization in this great country, is not afraid to face reality when it starts to stare us down.
In reviewing Justin Trudeau's run for the Liberal leadership, we have come to realize that he cannot be simply dismissed as a Shiny Pony and, although somewhat vacuous in both policy and substance, scientists tell us that all a vacuum needs to break out of its nothingness is a bit of air.
Let's give Trudeau that air, for the time has come to forgive the sins of the infamous father, Pierre Elliott Trudeau, and realize that some genetic apples do fall far enough away from the tree to not be equally rotten.

This was an April Fools Joke. However, Pierre is the #1 greatest Canadian of all time, no joke

never mind.
Still, when you really get down to it, Justin isn't all that far on the issues from the SUN...and he's way the hell to the right of his dad.
