The thread title is bit misleading. He has been MP for Papineau twice but bidding for liberal leadership is new. Personally, I find him too young.
 
Not a question of "if", but "when" Justin Trudeau would make a move to become leader of the Liberal Party of Canada. The recent media blitz might have swayed his decision to run in the leadership race this time around rather than waiting for some time in the future which may have never happened, the way politics is.

He's what 40 years of age. Harper was 46 when he became PM.

Justin has been around not too long as an active elected politician, so his "youth" versus his "newness" might be a deception.
