Wonderful story about Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau on CBC

Advertisements [?]

Edited on Sun Nov-28-04 06:37 PM by glarius

I have just watched a telling of the story of Prime Minister Trudeau, in the series about the greatest Canadians, on CBC....Oh how I wish we had him around today......He was so brilliant, brave, wise, and visionary.....I remember him saying in the 70's, words to the effect that if the prosperous western countries did not do something to help the plight of the suffering third world countries, it would come back to haunt us......He was so right....We miss you Pierre!.....:loveya:
P.S...When he died in 2000 Pres. Carter came to his funeral and sat beside Fidel Castro!....(There's one in old Bushie's eye, eh?....hahaha)
