You know what the irony of the Egyptians did as a thank you to Mr. Pearson after saving the Suez Canal? The fact that they don't even want to acknowledge that someone who was a foreigner that took the time to not just save the historic canal, but to keep WWIII from happening in that region during that time and along with saving Egypt in the process as well.
Lester B. Pearson was arguably the one of the greatest leaders of any country in our history. With what he accomplished in the time he was in office along with the part he played in getting leaders after him to continue with the progress it is simply amazing. You look at the leaders today and there is no comparison. He loved his country, he wanted more for his countrymen, and he made it happen. In my opinion he truly is the definition of what a hero really is.
324 views and a video of a cat jumping into a cardboard box has well over two million. Disheartening. This sort of informative and insightful conversation with history ought to be mandatory viewing for all Canadian citizens who wish to exercise their voting rights.
"Today's Canada is Pearson's Canada". All Canadians should watch this, don't worry it's not at all boring :-) Pearson was a great Prime Minister!
