The Salmon Arm Salute: Trudeau’s Fiery Roadtrip

Fuddle Duddle: Trudeau’s Famous Slip

When pressed by reporters, he quipped he had simply said 'fuddle duddle'—a playful dodge that instantly became a Canadian political legend. 🇨🇦 #Canada #FuddleDuddle #PierreTrudeau #PoliticalHistory

Fuddle Duddle : le juron détourné de Trudeau

En 1971, Pierre Elliott Trudeau choque les Communes : il est accusé d'avoir lancé une insulte à l'opposition. Interrogé, il s'en sort avec malice, affirmant avoir dit « fuddle duddle ». L'expression absurde entre dans l'histoire, symbolisant son style direct et insoumis. 🇨🇦 #Canada #FuddleDuddle #PierreTrudeau #HistoirePolitique

Extremely wise words, and describes exactly what it feels like to be next door to America.
How's everyone doing? We've got to stick together to make it through the next (yikes) four years of this tyrant.
Unless you voted for him and somehow snuck on here. Then you know what you can go and do to yourself.

There is a backdrop of the aurora borealis. Over it is the quote: Living next to you in some ways is like sleeping with an elephant. No matter how friendly and even-tempered is the beast, if I can call it that, one is affected by every twitch and grunt.

Uniformity is neither desirable nor possible in a country the size of Canada.

#Canada #Quote #PierreTrudeau #Diversity

PICTURE OF PIERRE TRUDEAU with quote:
Uniformity is neither desirable nor possible in a country the size of Canada. We should not even be able to agree upon the kind of Canadian to choose as a model, let alone persuade most people to emulate it. There are few policies more disastrous for Canada than to tell all Canadians that they must be alike. There is no such thing as a model or ideal Canadian. What could be more absurd than the concept of an "all-Canadian" boy or girl? A society that emphasizes uniformity is one which creates intolerance and hate. A society which eulogizes the average citizen is one that  breeds mediocrity. What the world should be seeking, and what in Canada we must continue to cherish, are not concepts of uniformity but human values: compassion, love and understanding. 
Canadian Prime Minister, Pierre Elliot Trudeau 
(remarks made at Ukraine-Canadian Congress October 9, 1971

GOOD.

When #RichardNixon called Trudeau's father, former #PrimeMinister #PierreTrudeau, "an asshole," Pierre said "I've been called worse things by better people."

My dad's lab was down the street from the late Pierre Elliot Trudeau's retirement home. It looked pretty small from the front but was quite huge in the back. People loved to refer to it as a mausoleum.
