I am still writing! I have done bank mergers, American tourism, dry dog food and sports drinks. Now I must do digital television, beer and nursery schools. I do not like this kind of writing. All this work means I cannot find a stuffed toy representing the late Pierre Trudeau, and nor have I the inclination to look. That is the Sorry Truth. Here instead is a photograph of him:
"He haunts us still", said his biographers. (Interestingly, his full name is Joseph Philippe Pierre Yves Elliott Trudeau.)
Further Interesting Trudeau Facts include the astonishing revelation that he sometimes wore sandals or a buckskin jacket in the House of Commons and once did a pirouette behind the back of Our Own Dear Queen, Irrelevant II. He was preceeded and succeeded by a man called Joe Clark and was born the day before me, but fifty years earlier.
It only remains for me to point out that whoever invented working was an Idiot.

The inventor of working was indeed an idiot and clearly didn't have a life. He should have been made to sit down with a packet of crisps and a mug of absinthe until the urge had passed, thus saving us all from his madness.
Yeah but you knew that. Pierre Trudeau, wasn't he also legendary for his philandering? Or am I remembering it wrong? I was just a kid...
Yes, he was. I heard he even did it with that slut Maggie Trudeau at some point.
One of his major talents was giving the finger to people. And to entire provinces.
Yes damn those Protestants for their work ethic.
Neil Young's Canadian, now that's something to thank the prairies for.
Although he doesn't live there. Must be the Scottish genes, people make it big and bugger off, or bugger off to make it big.
And k d lang has four siblings and they are all gay too.
"End of" on my Canadian stuff.
New PJs required me thinks NWM! Baby doll ones with red maples on them from the airport.
Bon Voyage petit(e?) sange
Actually here in N.America we call them p.j.s or pajamas. Flannel is a great idea, also warm socks-preferably pairs and not mismatched. Lorne Green, William Shatner, John Candy, Ann Murray, Shania Twain and Leslie Nielsen were/are Canadian. So are Bare Naked Ladies and Doug and the Slugs-what a diverse country! Yup, I remember as a teenager that Mr. Trudeau was quite the ladies man and that Margaret was quite er um....uninhibited,,
Missus Trudeau (Margaret) was a right old Rock Chick and all; there were stories of riotous times with the Rolling Stones, back in the late 1970s...
