Justin Trudeau can say all he wants about wanting to bring nobility back to politics and reducing the cynicism, there's only one reason he plans to run in the next federal election, and that reason is Stephane Dion.

Justin Trudeau wants to be prime minister and with the image challenged Dion at the helm, Trudeau can smell blood. He'll get himself elected as MP, play the game like he has to then take a shot at the next leadership convention in five or six years.

At that time he'll be 40 years old and positioned to smooth talk his way into power just like his old man did, and knowing this country we'll buy the bullshit hook line a sinker.

Meanwhile, Dion's reaction to Trudeau's announcement was rather cool. He praised Justin's ambition, but made it clear he will have to win the nomination; it won't be handed to him.

Trudeau will run in the Bloc Quebecois stronghold of Papineau, so it won't be an easy ride and that could be the upside to this story. By running in Papineau there we could be saved from another arrogant, over-rated Trudeau and the Liberals won't gain the seat.
