Stephen LeDrew has not been an MP since 2003. I'm assuming he hates Trudeau because he's to the left of Chrétien.
He has never been an MP - he was the former President of the Liberal Party
Whatever. The point is he has been out of politics and out of the Liberal Party since 2003. A coward who jumped ship as Harper's Conservatives were gaining in popularity and the Liberals had no answers. I'm sure people remember when during the campaign in 2005, Martin decided to roll through (sorry I don't remeber the town) in a moving sleigh of some sort and a wheel went flat. It was symbolic of his campaign . But I digress
LeDrew is a Paul Martin/Jean Chrétien loyalist. He was President of the party before they veered to the left. He doesn't like the fact that the party is no longer at the centre right. He's just a miserable bastard.
I thought he was there until 2011 but turns out he was there till 2015. Still he was not leader and criticizing Trudeau is not his only vocation either.
Btw, what did Mulcair say about Jagmeet that was so offensive? I take it that it had to be pretty nasty to have it be the cause of so much dislike for Mulcair?
