OK, so I guess I must be one of the dumbed down dependent voters you are talking about as I find the Prime Minister effective, articulate and intelligent with a far better grasp of policy and the economy than Mr. Harper or any of his struggling successors. I am in my late 50s, a grandfather, own a home, have owned and run successful companies in Vancouver and Boston, create jobs and am an active angel investor. All three of my kids are also very successful in their careers.
