Nobody takes The Clown  Prince seriously in terms of his decidedly meager intellect, insights and knowledge.

But regrettably we are stuck with him as PM until at least 2019 which means he gets to inject his idiocies into our political, legal and social systems and can do much damage to our country.  So we have to take him seriously enough to resolve to defeat the Liberals in 2019 and we have to work and educate and organize and vote to that end.

You are correct that The Boy Blunder is not a scholar and his specious, simplistic, shallow slogans range all the way from meaningless to absolutely absurd.

"Diversity is our strength" ranks right up there with his other asinine asides like "Canada is the world's first post-national state", "if we kill our enemy he wins", and "the only prime ministers in the twentieth century who were any good were all from Quebec".

Will he cause more fiscal, economic, disunity and cultural carnage than Papa Pierre?  Probably not if he loses in 2019.
