You might want to take a gander, Ger, at the bill she ran up while G.G. A little too overwhelmed with her perception of self importance for my liking and (wallet)

If she was the only GG that did that, you might have a point.

Not the only but at the time the most expensive to date if I remember correctly. In that position I believe thrift and frugality are prudent!

Then again, Trudeau didn't spend the money, the GG did. The fact still is he appointed the first female speaker and the first female GG.

and the polish china man wanted examples of what he did. I gave em.

Harpo has run up the debt and has sold us out to foreign interests more than any other PM, so why are we trashing a dead man?

Hi gerryh ,perhaps it's not "trashing " a dead man as much as what the man did to this country and the ones who still adore his "achievements."

And that is just a small sample of the bad things he did.

David Frum has the unique ability to talk out of his A$$

Former Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau did the most important thing for Canada which is he brought back Canadian identity to all Canadians.

America at that time was taking more control over Canadian culture and if nothing was done about it Canada would have been the newest American state and Trudeau saved us all from that fate.

Another former Canadian Prime Minister came out with a critical statement for Canadian identity which was the words uttered by Paul Martin ‘America is our neighbour America is not our country.”

Don’t get me wrong I like Americans and respect their way of life but I am a Canadian and this is my country and I wish our Canadian Conservative Prime Minister would respect that fact that Canada comes first. We have our problems and issues but as a people we can solve it by coming together as English, French, Aboriginal and Multi-cultured Canadians.

David Frum is living in America and loves the American way of life and forgot what Canada stands for and that’s his choice.

Excuse me, Canada no longer has an identity, because of Trudeau's declaration that Canada is Multinational be now have a country that is now divided by not just two languages and cultures, Canadian culture has now been so dilluted that whatever culture we had is gone, and is replaced by many cultures all living life as if they had never come to Canada, but to remain as they were in their country of birth.

We are all DPs here, Dude. There was a culture here for 10 thousand years until European invasion. Since then all we have had is mindless consumer capitalism. unless, of course, you think a rape and pillage mentality is culture.
