Trudeau was one of the only politicians that did anything positive and long lasting for this country (as far as I can tell)...Helped to form our identity ,give us our independence.( I would have chose Blue, green maybe some yellow,a little white with a touch of red for flag colours 8O :),but the maple leaf was a good touch.. The flag has become a proud symbol of Canada, has grown on me and apparently all Canadians :canada:)

...Anyway

It is obvious to see Trudeaus' legacy lives on ,by the impact he had ,and continues to have on this country and it's people..

Years later...We're still talkn' about him ...;-):smile:

History remembers both the good and the bad ones, as long as they were outstanding. For example, people are still debating whether Louis Riel was a hero or a traitor. :lol:

Well, that certainly would qualify anyone to be a Prime Minister. :lol:
Good day Country boy, Curling dosen't qualify a guy for beeing a PM also, so what is your point?

Get with it man..........................

It looks like you are happy with a guy with the phoney smile, he sure makes Harper look dull, you must admit that. Harper will never be in power for 12 years he is on his last days as PM, the reason is obvious, plagiarising speeches and ass kissing to Bush on a lie.:roll: Comparing iron with plastic is not cool…

Sorry to light your fuse here, Socrates. I think I said I was the curling fan, and I'm not running for office.

I was commenting on your post that pointed out Trudeau's relationship with classy women...I was wondering what that would have to do with qualifying as a PM. Nothing more than that, really...

How much meat and spuds did he put on the table? I like stuff I can actually put my hand on.

Flag? Trudeau? I think not. In 1965, it was Pearson steering the bus.

It's kind of funny that Gliberal fans are adamant that Cons are no good whatsoever and Cons think the same is true about Gliberals, yet each faction have their good side and their bad side. It's like saying your right hand is no good and your left hand is nothing but good; kind of stupid in a way.
I think Turdeau could have done worse, but as I said before, he was definitely not the best. I think King and Pearson were better.

Pierre Trudeau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pierre Trudea - P.M. from ..20 April 1968 to 4 June 1979,(ahh yes ..The hippy years...Good years in Canada's youth :p ) and again from 3 March 1980 to 30 June 1984.

Trudea played a large part in establishing Canada's independence/identity.He Was/is a large part of our Proud Canadian History .Like 'm or not..Can;t say that about many other more recent P.M.'s besides Maybe Chretien ...

I am not a liberal by the way ..Just to set the record strait..Wouldn't want anyone to think I'm a Fiberal sympathizer ...They do tend to create the best leaders though ...Although I find them somewhat two faced , untrustworthy, with everyone elses but their own position ..but I guess some could say that about most (not all) politicians.They'll go where the money is .Say anything , play any game, for a Big Biz vote.

There's their REAL TRUE face ..Then there's the system face they all put on to fool everyone out of their money ,their election vote..Then the people are forgotten until the next election, and yet another trail of lies.....Sometimes it's hard to tell the two faces apart...More so with liberals than other parties...(I find , In my humble opinion , for what it's worth :p)

Anyway..Indepence is the only way to ensure true democracy ..



Peace...(which includes your half #1):p

;) :)

Didn't King get his advice from his dead mother? Or was his dog? Or his dead mother through his dog, I just can't remember.
Not sure. Wherever he got advice from, it seems to have been pretty good, though.

Yep, he did but it may have been during doddering moments near the end of a very long career. He was the longest serving P.M. beat Trudeau by quite a few years- 22 in all as I recall.

A leader of this country can be sovereign, and not sh!t in the shoes of the US leadership at the same time. Doing the latter only please the anti American crowd. That doesn't make it note worthy.

Here I think we have a disagreement. The leader in question during part of Trudeau's reign was Ronald Reagan. Very few if any of his policies were worth emulating. And all the bum kissing by Brian Mulroney amounted to very little ao far as getting better treatment for Canada.

That explains a few things, but I like you non the less Bar, you have a good head on your shoulders.

Thanks for that last bit. I should know something; I taught this crap for more than 30 years.
