    Ratin' Trudeau...



    The NEP ( ), the Charter of Rights & Freedoms ( ), the Omnibus Bill ( ), Bilingualism ( ), fighting (or was it enflaming?) the fire of Quebec seperatism ( ), being a Canadian leader who was actually interesting ( )...

    And the rest.

    How would you rate ol' PET, as a Prime Minister, taking into account both the results of his actions and historical/cultural relevance?

    And hey, whether you like him or not, you have to at least admit that his episode of Life & Times is a great watch.

    And his son is a fine photojournalist, by my estimation... but that's beside the point.

    Anyway... whaddayathinkotrudeauasawhole?

      The Constitution.

      He just couldn't wait. He had to force it through while the Premier of Quebec would not sign it. What an arrogant dink!

        Well, sure, it's easy to hate or love someone based solely on one issue...

        The whole Trudeau/Levesque was not his finest hour, but I think the Charter was still a positive step in the history of this country.

        He was arrogant, to be sure, but I think a little arrogance can be beneficial at times. He made a boatload of mistakes, but I think he also did a lot of good, and he certainly made things a lot more interesting for a while.

        ...

        Speaking of Levesque: I loved how we always smoking at his news conferences and such. It just came off as so... supervillainesque.

                You already mentioned the NEP, no need for that.

                There is also him giving the finger to Western Canada.

                And, btw, when one man's arrogance throws fuel on a fire that could have torn this country apart, I think that is a pretty good issue to judge him as a zero for as a national leader.

                  For the actual Charter.

                  So overall?

                  He ought to have a statue on Parliament Hill so that the Pigeons can give him a fitting tribute.

                      Well, he did also work to defuse the first Quebec referendum... 60-40 is alot better than the 51-49 split of the Mulroney-Chretien-preceded second referendum.

                      So it kinda cancels out, right?

                      Well... can we at least all agree that Joe Clark is a class-act?

                        Trudeau was a frickin' ballsy moron.

                            If by kept the country from splitting apart you mean fueling western alienation, then sure.

                              Thanks for summarising why people don't like Trudeau. I was a bit fuzzy on the issue.
