The sort of stuff that I occasionally have to scrape off my shoe?
Reminds me of “Chuckles” Biden when he debated Ryan - let’s just laugh at him because we don’t have anything of substance to throw at him.....
Guy laFleur, Montreal Canadians
Canada elected a Hipster cuckold ......
He’s a (very) distant cousin of mine (LaFleur, not trueDope).
In Canada, we don’t have the same expectations of a Prime Minister as Americans seem to have of a President. We know them to be scramblers on a greasy pole, and not usually heroes for children to admire. American presidents from FDR and Truman to Ike and JFK are routinely lauded in the Canadian press and held up as examples of statesmanship, whereas beyond John A. and Laurier, there is little agreement in Canada that any of our PMs were great men.
So what? Frankly, I don’t like politicians as models for the young.
We have the Crown as the locus of sovereignty and pomp in our parliamentary system; everyone admires the Queen(excepting drunken Irish rascals and Quebeckers).
Ministers, even Prime Ministers come and go; only the Crown and the people endure.
