The thing is, Trudeau was an *interesting* character.

In retrospect, he ignored economics when setting many other sorts of policy, which was very stupid.

But when he opened his mouth and said things, they tended to be interesting things. The same has not been generally true of his successors.

Clinton certainly had some problems; dallying with interns was hugely unprofessional. But if he were in town doing a talk, I'd be somewhat keen on hearing it, because he's an exceedingly accomplished speaker. There isn't another living ex-US president that's comparable, and few others. (And even those that wanted Dubya in have *got* to admit his ability to speak is impoverished in comparison...)

Trudeau clearly had a lot of ideas, and interesting ones. That they didn't all turn out as hoped for does not make them uninteresting.
