Hmm... makes sense that such a disaster would take place on 4-20, in the same grand spirit as Columbine and Waco. Anyone got some weed?
ReplyDeleteIf I could, I'd dig him up and kill him again.
ReplyDeleteMean crowd...
ReplyDeleteThose were the days. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteMean crowd indeed.
ReplyDeleteProbably because his legacy will probably withstand the test of time while the legacy of his successors will fade to dust.
Brian Mulroney will be forgotten.
Jean Chretien may be remembered for his inaction during the '95 referendum but I would think that is not what you want to be remembered for. Otherwise he is forgetable as well.
Paul Martin, should be remembered for his successful fight against the deficit but no one ever remembers finance ministers, unless they ask such silly questions as "What's a million dollars?" Otherwise he will be forgotten.
Stephen Harper, remains to be seen but unless he comes up with more than the "five priorities" he will be a footnote to a footnote in history.
"If I could, I'd dig him up and kill him again."
ReplyDeletemurder? that's civilized.
Well, I certainly agree that no one will forget him.
ReplyDeleteI certainly won't.
I would like to clone Pierre Trudeau and unleash 100,000 on the West... MUWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH!
ReplyDeleteAnybody remember the "Fuddle Duddle" episode? (I had a badge)
ReplyDeleteGotta agree with Ottlib that Trudeau's legacy "will probably withstand the test of time". Huge debts and deficits, high taxes, constitutional mess, many regions alienated from eachother, National Energy Program.
ReplyDeleteCertainly hard to forget Trudeau, but thank God he's gone.
