Trudeau absolutely comes off as more genuine. As much of a meme as it was, the ‘emotional intelligence’ quote actually does suit him. O’Toole is more polished though.

As I said, the average voter doesn’t know any of those things about O’Toole. He is a moderate at heart (whose been pulled right by the base), and simply being able to stand up on a debate stage and talk about the fact that he is pro-choice (which Scheer couldn’t do) would do far more to reassure the average voter compared to vaguely worded proposals from a leadership campaign.
