UPDATE: Right here.
All we can do is hope.
By the 2015 election, Harper will be 56, which is older than the historical average (and mean) age at which Canadian PMs (and American presidents) have first come into the office. Mulcair will be older at 60, the age at which Jack Layton had his greatest electoral success, but Trudeau will be younger at 43. The trend is toward younger leaders, as noted in my op-ed piece in today’s StarPhoenix:

I hear there’s a Central American Petrostate in need of a new Maximum Leader.
Am of two minds here. On the one hand, PLEASE GOD MAKE IT SO! On the other, if he stays and keeps governing as he does, he’ll be so hated by 2015 there’ll be another CON implosion.
A new leader, like Jim Prentice, could shake things up and draw some more pragmatic, middle of the road voters.
On the other hand, a new leader like Jason Kenney…. Lol, we can always dream can’t we? Kenney certainly is (dreaming that is).
Nope, the Liberal Partys new leader has to just put his head down, and recruit, recruit, recruit.
I hope he sticks around long enough to beat PET’s record.
That should stir it up on a Friday.
You overestimate your ability to create a controversy
You know what’s perfect? A city as self-conscious and wannabe as Toronto having spoiled shit-for-brains man-child brat Rob Ford as mayor.
It’s unfortunate that Brian Burke got fired because that made things double plus good.
I read this earlier this morning and just shook my head: beyond speculative and entirely bereft of fact. People in elected office stay on as long as they a) this they can win b) have things they want to accomplish and c) still enjoy the job. I don’t see any evidence to the contrary on any of these three points.
huh,
I always thought the Dear Leader would like to be preserved under glass, something like this happy meal
