I am sure he would, but not for the reasons stated in the op. Perhaps, a comparison between the two would have been better. There are plenty of haters when it comes to the senior Trudeau and then there are those that simply oppose their views.
Example, I had a hate on for Jack Layton, found his car salesman tactics repugnant, his views completely out of sync with common sense and then when he got sick, I realized I didn't really hate Jack, I just vehemently opposed his views. Still do today.
In the case of Pierre Elliot Trudeau, he did a lot of things that pissed conservatives off. He ran us into huge debt, he used our military as a personal whipping post, he hung out with dictators, I could go on and on. But Trudeau also had qualities in his character you could respect. He was articulate, he wasn't afraid to stand toe to toe in a debate "Just Watch Me." and he stood up to the Quebec Separatists "Give them nothing!" And he loved Canada. [Just not Western Canada]
His son holds many of the same views his father did, but has none of the character traits.
He's obviously out of his element, but I'm sure PET would be proud of him nonetheless.
Meh. Smoking pot is as dumb as smoking cigarettes. I really don't give a shirt about your bitches and moans about marijauna , aND now that it is legal I don't give a shit about your excitement too. It's a non issue...just like the neighbor''s nicotine addiction.
Putting a foreign substance in your body to alter your mind is dumb. But sometimes its fun to be dumb.
I use medical marijuana to control my tinnitus, and it has helped me immensely.
As for legalizing it outright, I think the time has come, it's no worse than alcohol and definitely better than cigarettes.
