Jackpot?




They may have won the genetic lottery, but can Justin Trudeau or Ben Mulroney win the title of Most Mediocre Canadian?

Mulroney inherited his father's robust chin. Trudeau inherited his dad's ability to marry attractive women. One hosts a talent show that produces a distinct lack of celebrity on the part of its winners. The other went to Winterlude with fellow nominee Rick Mercer.

But does that make them the most mediocre?

As one Mulroney fan put it:
"Mediocre looks. Mediocre talent. Regularly praises mediocrity in the most maudlin fashion on Canadian Idol."

Trudeau, always the statesman, drew this vote:
"Making a career out of professional speaking while merely carrying a recognizable name. He is the Paris Hilton of Canada, without the fun."

Do famous last names give these men the edge over the competition? You decide.
