Great, Canada is already governed by an economic imbecile in Trudeau.  Now we can have people who can't scrape up a refundable $1,000 wanting to run the country.

I think the judge is incorrect.  Signatures are required from 100 individuals.  If those who sign think so little of the wannabe candidate's policies and reasons for running that they won't contribute a refundable $10 each, then the "frivolous candidate" threshold has been met.
