You hardly blather lol. Your input seems to always be measured and valuable imo.
I see him as an EXCELLENT trade minister but also as a one-legged stool and would be an excellent second in power. He doesn't have the balance of skills for the top job...even though I thought he did.

Shouldn't he be smart enough to have multi-faceted thoughts or character so that he stands up, literally speaks up, for vulnerable Canadians or for our country?
I'm not trying to disagree with you I'm really looking for your opinion b/c I don't understand. I simply see him as weak or uncaring
