I'm not ashamed to say that Trudeau did well, even though i wanted to see his face changed muchly.
That is understandable if you are from Skookumchuck. BCers are like elephants: they never forget or forgive, even if they are wrong.
Particularly if we are rrr www oo..... aw **** Fonzie syndrome!:lol:
But not wrong in my mind this time. My father and uncles were all overseas and shot up to protect his freedom while that little dilletante prick was riding around frog town in a German helmet! Peeps from my generation remember all that, along with conscription which was only necessary in paybec.
My dad got shot up in WWII also and I was born in frog town. Living among people of every ethnic background teaches something that living in isolation in BC during the war did not obviously teach you. Tolerance is something that was sorely lacking in BC when I arrived here in '72 and still is in a lot of places. I remember race riots in Quesnel and loggers trying to run me down with their 4X4s on the side of the highway and how our aboriginal people have been treated as third class citizens. You have nothing to be proud of.
Considering that it was for a good cause I sincerely hope that Brazeau did not suffer any brain damage. Oh wait, I forgot Brazeau is a Conservative Senator.
He took on a Trudeau....could not have been quite right before he got into the ring.
NP is finally reporting on what I've been saying for ages.
Levant should give this a read.

You make assumptions that i have been cloistered in one province for a lifetime to further your opinion? You talk tolerance? How do you spin the fact that when we were fighting for our country Quebec was only place where conscription was necessary? In the rest of Canada kids were lying about their age to join.
Vingt-deuxième being the exception and a very decorated and honorable one they are. Sadly only a tiny percentage of the population.
Of course you have conveniently ignored the Quebecois penchant for the term "pure laine" as you attempt to paint BC or any other province as intolerant or racist. I base my lack of tolerance for Quebec on my quoted post along with my own experiences there trying to fit in while speaking a passable patois with an anglais accent. That being said, my issues were urban, rural was often a delight.
I blame their political leaders over a century mostly.
My dad was sorely pissed that the French took to the woods to avoid having to support the British monarchy during WWII. I thought they were the only smart ones. Canada was never in fear of being invaded by Germany. The whole war was not about serving our country, but serving the Crown, which is a pretty nebulous entity to give one's life up for. Young fools volunteered to die because they bought the propaganda of the day. My dad was hit by a mortar shell and spent two years in a British hospital recovering just so he wouldn't miss D Day. He could have come home to his wife and child, but he chose to stay and see the Empire rise once again. That didn't work out for the Empire and in the end, Germany won the war (NASA and the CIA were built with German scientists and ex- SS officers). Now we have fascism living next door and a PM who is a Bush Lite wannabe.
The French were the only smart ones and if you had been brought up in Montreal you would know why the French are pissed off at the English. Also, if you carried your dislike of the French into Quebec, they would have responded in kind.
Oddly although you mention British loyalty, did you forget that Quebec would not fight for France either. If you really believe that Hitler had no intention of conquering the world, just ask the nations that he attacked which had no teutonic connection whatsoever. Oh wait, you hate Israel.
As to my carrying an anti French sentiment into Quebec, wrong again, i grew up among many French and learned the language reasonably by age 12. I was treated like dogshat in Quebec city and Montreal BECAUSE i appeared to be anglais. I never treated Quebecers that way when i met many in the rest of Canada.
Just for sh+ts and giggles, many of my extended family are Metis so you know that neither the French language nor Cree is strange to us. We do not brag about it or whine for handouts either, unlike many Quebecers we are Canadians.

What does that have to do with Justin? He hadnt been born yet. Same with NEP. You cant lay the blame on him. He's not his father.
Conscription shouldn't have happened at all. In the end it had barely any effect. And not just in Quebec.
And who could blame them? Their ties with France had been severed nearly 2 centuries earlier. Those settlers who tried to return to France after the conquest were turned away.
Justin Trudeau is no socialist. You must not know what "socialism" is.
