What the hell is it with right-wing media nuts and Pierre Elliot Trudeau?
In Today's Editorial, the Calgary Sun is busy whining and beaking about a new book, Young Trudeau: 1919-1944: Son of Quebec, Father of Canada, which talks about some of Trudeau's politics as a young man.
What he believed as a youth is historically interesting, but hardly significant today. In spite of what the narrow-minded twits that run the Calgary Sun seem to think, it has very little to do with today and today's politics. So what if he explored Marxism as a youth? So what if he toyed with separatist activism? How is that relevant to anything in the here and now?
Beyond an intellectual understanding of how Trudeau became the man he did, it's utterly irrelevant. At best this book is being used in a pathetic attempt to smear his name once again by Conservative politicians who are hoping to blacken the name of the left wing of Canada in a gambit to solidify their grip on power.
