  • Completely off subject, but does Trudeau have a beard? Or is that just the video quality?

  • @WorldNews92

    Trudeau does indeed have a beard. I think he got rid of it by the fall of that year however.

  • King and Diefenbaker. Both men were convinced of their destiny. Two fascinating and mysterious men.

    "You put up an admirable campaign, the essence of democracy is that each one of us accepts the right of others to disagree, but we're first and formost Canadians and nothing is going to divide us"

    I salute this man, our MP's of today could learn a lot from him!

    True enough, but it's odd to vilify Trudeau for going to China and meeting Mao, yet zip is said by anyone about Dick Nixon doing the same thing a few years later. Also, it's easy to point death tolls, just as estimates put the First Nations population of North America at 500 million if it wasn't for that genocide. At least in Canada they finally got the vote under Dief.

  • @MBguy2008 China lost over 80 million people because of Mao!

  • @324wilson

    On the whole, Dief the Chief was a poor PM. Too paranoid, too controlling, too self-centred.

  • @Downfacingdog

    Fucking Nixon (pardon my french) led a delegation of commie bastards to shake hands with Mr. Genocide, Chairman Mao.

  • Fucking Trudeau(pardon my french) led a delegation of commie bastards to shake hands with Mr. Genocide, Chairman Mao.

  • The "Chief" towered over all (shoulder to shoulder with Sir John)
