Ditto. Mulcair was quick on his feet and not at all a dummy. I’d have paid money to see him do an “On what date…” to various members of the Trudeau government.

He got branded as “angry Tom” by a media that really wanted a milquetoast centrist candidate, and he made the mistake of trying to tack right to get respect from said media, only to have Trudeau flank him on the left.
