You see you have no idea. Here is the danger of Trudeau retiring from politics. It opens the door to a new leader. And new leaders do change the juice in the bottle. So do not think for a moment LeBlanc or Freeland could be beaten in a heartbeat. The fact is Trudeau is the known commodity in the room. You know who he is. You know why you dislike him. He is the recognizable one that all the mud sticks to. Someone else is an unknown commodity and the unknown sometimes shakes things up. Just be warned
