On current form, this trainee government does not deserve to repeat in 2019 and the Conservatives have now drawn even with them and seem to have the momentum.

But never underestimate the Trudeaus' assets of being born lucky and enjoying dumb luck, Billy.

I am reminded of a December night in 1979 when I took a date to see Second City at The Old Firehall in Toronto.

As always, the comedy troup was exceptional and we enjoyed the evening.

Backstage at intermission, someone in the cast got the information that the PC government of Joe Clark had just been defeated on a budget bill which everybody knew meant that PM Clark would resign and Pierre Trudeau would return as Liberal leader and probably win the 1980 election.

We were informed by the cast of this development, after which they launched into a spirited improv tune that went "Lucky Pierre, lucky Pierre, lucky Pierre Trudeau ... he could fall into a bucket of sh$t, and come out smelling sweet O!"

Justin is even luckier.

We'll see
