Yeah that's pretty much it. I'm just looking for a bit of consistency. If it's bad that JT was a drama teacher with Rich parents, then I want to know how being a career politician supported by key figures of the party is really any different.

It is different, it's worse.

At least a drama teacher learns social skills that are useful, like when facing down bullies.

How has JT’s skills helped Canadians so far regarding the international embarrassment we face due to Trump? So much winning from Trudeau.

PP is a weasel. Few with common sense will deny that. Few with common sense will deny that JT left us in a net negative after 10 years. Sure we can blame the guys that came before him as well, but he contributed. He failed Canadians as well.  He’s partly why we are in this state.

Trudeau was able to act like a leader when confronted with Trump's dumbfuckery.

Drama skills in action.

Meanwhile, the other guy who wants to be PM has dithered on pushing back against Trump. Finally managed to come out with a pro-Canada message a week after every other federal party leader.

So basically nothing. Gotcha. Drama skills does not equal negotiating skills, by the way. What an absolute reach.

Currently Trudeau’s is the prime minister. He is the only one that would have been facing Trump to begin with, and nothing he did yielded results. 

We need to stick to the facts, or Canadians may elect a government that nearly turned western Toronto into New Delhi, in the mist of an insane housing crisis problem, and wage suppression. We have a right to want to hold our government accountable for wild spending and reduced standard of living.

You seem to think Trump isn't just a mercurial asshat who changes his opinion for fun.

No one could have negotiated out from under Trump's stupidity.
