I wonder how this reflects poorly on Pierre Trudeau's legacy. Here we have 43 percent of respondents voting for the man as the Canada's greatest prime minister, leaving the remaining 57 percent to be divided amongst the 21 others.
And, in all fairness, let's recognize that there are those, such as myself, who voted "No" despite holding a certain admiration for Trudeau.
Brian makes a good point. PET's numbers, though lower than they've been, are still high, at least among Globe readers. I said essentially the same thing with: "... Trudeau ... is vastly overrated".
Thanks for showing me where to vote no. I hated that s.o.b and still do.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see the MSM pick up on PET's 'dark' side:

How about his praise for the Moscow subway system, built with slave labour. Or of Red China or Fidel's Cuba.
