Yea, back in 73, it would be Pierre Eliot Trudeau the father of Justin. Unfortunately, Justin is not at all like his father.
Pierre Eliot didn't mince words. When a reported pissed him off, Pierre gave him the bird which appeared in the news (the reported deserved it)
He also didn't back down to Nixon when Nixon tried to bully him.
He said what he meant and meant what he said.
Justin, on the other hand, is more of a follower than a decider... Unfortunate.
Also, not all Canadians are the same - It's like comparing southern americans to eastern americans... Different mentalities all together. Maritimer canadians are different than Quebecers which are different than ontarians which are different than the prairies which are different than British Columbians... There are overlaps but we have different philosophies.
