I know "they're just like me; I'd like to have a beer with them" is a bad test for who to vote for, but it struck me recently that, among the main (anglo) federal leaders, Jagmeet Singh is the one who sounds most like a "normal" Canadian when he's speaking. He's frequently othered, as a PoC, practicing Sikh. But when he speaks he sounds more ordinary and genuine that Trudeau or Sheer, IMO.
Elizabeth May is pretty "normal" sounding, too.

And, yes, I recognize the irony of saying I'd most like to "have a beer" with a practicing Sikh who also saw what alcoholism did to his father (i.e., the man doesn't drink). But the figure of speech tends not to be "who I'd rather have tea with," even though it maybe should be.
