I wasn't pointing at Trudeau. Nice of you to ass-u-me.
I was looking at Millhouse who's never worked an hourly paid job in his life and became a millionaire while in office.

And Poilievre….
Two income family with real estate in Ottawa and Calgary, during a big real estate boom, plus being a cabinet minister for much of his twenty years in the House will do that. Given that, his net worth (estimated to be $5M) isn't extraordinary.
I was just using him as an example since he attracts the most attention as an "elite" in the press due to his upbringing and the friends he keeps. Overall, that kind of thing rubs off on the other MPs, when it's not the norm at all.
I'm not anti-Trudeau at all.
