Right. So far right lunatics call him a socialist and that's supposed to convince me?
Can you actually deny anything I said in that post Debater?
No, you can't, because every single word of it was an indisputable fact.
He declared martial law in peace time and is the only Prime Minister to do so.
His original draft of the Charter asserted the rights of capital and the rights of property.
He actually used the land protection legislation in Saskatchewan and Prince Edward Island as examples of the sort of legislation that would be banned had his original Charter gone through unaltered.
These are facts, Debater - however much they disturb the fantasies you have about this odious hack.
Actually, you're incorrect on them Malcolm, and they are distortions. Most Canadian historians don't see it that way and don't agree with you. Incidentally, Trudeau just ranked in the top 5 Best Prime Ministers survey of Canadian historians and ranks #1 among the Canadian public.
He didn't impose martial law just for the fun of it - he was ASKED to do so by the Premier of Quebec and the Mayor of Montreal, because there was murder of political officials and acts of terrorism and kidnapping occurring. You know? That's why emergency powers exist.
It was many of the Premiers who wanted capital rights in the Charter, not Trudeau. And in the end they didn't end up in there, so what's your point? You do realize btw, that many people, particularly the Conservatives are in favour of having property rights, yes? You make it sound like it's some bizarre notion outside the political mainstream.
Incidentally, as Roy Romanow described in a book about Trudeau a few years ago, Trudeau described himself as a 'socialist' in the last conversation he had with Romanow before his death.
You obviously have an intense dislike of Trudeau which prevents you from looking at his tenure objectively, and that's your right to do so, but don't expect all Canadians to agree with you.
Trudeau decriminalized abortion, homosexuality, passed the Official Languages Act and gave us the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms which is an internationally respected document that countries like South Africa have used as a guide in developing their own new constitutions.
I know you feel strongly about your arguments, but they don't stand up to scrutiny.
