It could be that we should remember to include Canada in the ban on
discussing politics on this list; remember that Trueau had many supporters
(including myself).

Treadeau, Canada's socialist prime minister in the late 1970 and early
1980s. He had the Queen pop over from Buckingham Palace to sign off on the
official paperwork in a very public celebration. When the signing was over,
Treadeau danced a sprightly pirouette within sight of the cameras but out
of
the sight of the Queen. For right thinking members of society Treadeau's
behaviour was disgusting and disgraceful but not surprising for a left wing
hack who had little time for being nice to his head of state. It might
surprise many to learn that Treadeau's left wing policies were rewarded by
Fidel Castro who was one of his pallbearers at his state funeral in
Montreal
a year or two ago.

Details of the the French connection have to wait until another day.
