Wow, Trudeau looks so much like Martin Short. 
Seriously, I've seen clips of that scene over the years but never that long before, thanks.
And those were the good old days. When talking to reporters wasn't staged or full of spin. When everything didn't have to be just right for the cameras with flags in the back, podiums and so on. When reporters could ask as many questions as they liked. No dreaded "one question only" and perhaps "a follow-up". Those guys asked a lot of questions.
Sad really. That's the way it should be today, prime ministers answering questions like that. We'd probably know a whole heck of a lot more of what's actually going on too. Not to sound Trudeauesque but the guy gets out of the car, reporters ask questions and he's not afraid to answer them either.
"Don't be silly" he tells one of the reporters, lol.

No dreaded "one question only" and perhaps "a follow-up". Those guys asked a lot of questions. Yup, I remember watching an interview with Tom Clark describing how there was once a time when reporters could walk right on to the floor of the House of Commons, up to an MPs desk, and then start asking them questions. Tom Clark mentioned how he was young and wanted to make a name for himself, so he walks right over to Prime Minister Trudeau and demands to know something about his personal life that no other reporter dare ask him - I can't remember if it was his marriage or his divorce or what. Trudeau refused to answer and told him to buzz off. Tom Clark kept pushing, and Trudeau eventually grabbed him by the tie, tightened it around his neck, and then asked him if he would like to ask that same question again. I only wish I could have experienced politics and political journalism in those days, it must have been a wild and fun ride!

Every once in a great while a leader perfectly captures the spirit of the times, and in the process, inspires the whole nation. What JFK was to the U.S., Trudeau was to Canada. There has never been another PM like him, and there probably won't be for a very long time.

I should also mention that seeing the video with Lincoln Alexander is great. He certainly is a man man of dignity and character, that's for sure, I've always been very proud that he was from my side of Lake Ontario. |

| I met Linc a few weeks back - I was having lunch at Denninger's downtown... He had just been on CHML that morning and I commented on that to him... He said "Did I sound like I was giving them hell?" - I told him that he gave the "all nine levels of it" (why, yes, I am a geek!) He said, "good, I hope they enjoyed the frozen one too!" and added a few other colourful terms he didn't use on the radio.
Cool guy.

I've always gotten a kick out of the fact that Hamilton names a major freeway after Linc, and yet he's never held a drivers license of his own. Talk about irony!

Gee, I wonder what Trudeau was mouthing?
Lincoln Alexander sure has quite the biography though. Try putting that on a resume.
Seems like he's 85-years-old and still going strong though. Good for him.

Back up your statement please as stating something is a fact doesn't automatically make it so.

Kardinal - an article appeared in McLeans magazine a few years back. There was also the book written by Max and Monique Nemni - "The Young Trudeau"
»writerscafe.ca/book_blogs/writer···deau.php
quote:
It is surprising to note that with respect to Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union -the two greatest threats to civilization in the 20th Century- Trudeau supported the wrong side in both cases.
Remark by Brian Mulroney
quote:
»www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/s···0070905/
Mulroney's comments echoed those by critics who blasted Trudeau for riding around rural Quebec on a motorcycle during World War II while wearing a 19th-century German army helmet.
In the 2006 book "Young Trudeau," the authors pored over the young Trudeau's private papers and revealed that the future federalist once plotted to take Quebec out of Canada and embraced francophone nationalism -- while shrugging off reports of Nazi atrocities as British propaganda.

Better yet. Order the book from Amazon.ca
Trudeau supported Hitler during WWII.
quote:
»www.amazon.ca/Young-Trudeau-1919···2&sr=8-1
Trudeau, far from being the rebel that other biographers have claimed, embraced this ideology. At his elite school, Brébeuf, he was a model student, the editor of the school magazine, and admired by the staff and his fellow students. But the fascist ideas and the people he admired – even when the war was going on, as late as 1944 – included extremists so terrible that at the war’s end they were shot. And then there’s his manifesto and his plan to stage a revolution against les Anglais.
This is astonishing material – and it’s all demonstrably true – based on personal papers of Trudeau that the authors were allowed to access after his death.What they have found has astounded and distressed them, but they both agree that the truth must be published.
