Pierre Trudeau

He was a swinger, wasn't he? Therefore CLASSIC.

Anthony - to Westerners like ourselves, 'NEP' WAS profanity!

I thought the NEP was a way to distrubite energy evenly across canada , i am a canadain , not a westerner.

Classic all the way for liberalizing immigration, bringing in national Medicare, legalizing homosexuality, beefing up the CBC, raising Third World concerns, standing up to Quebec and the States, being a worthwhile personality, and having the balls to go all the way with martial law instead of the half-assed erosion of civil liberties we get these days. And for shoving a load of patronage appointments onto John Turner's shoulders and actually getting him to carry them out. Maybe a little dubious on economics. Would be considered a Communist in today's political climate.

If you hate TO 'just because' - you're a Westerner anthony.

...and if my grandmother had wheels, she'd be a bus.

Hmmm. The only politician worth assasinating Canada has ever had indeed, hahaha.
