Pierre Trudeau was the Worst

"What you do in Canada is march in some central square with your national flags and placards, you don't wage war here," I said to the beautiful, young Ukrainian woman I see daily in the Y locker room.  She was lamenting the ugly and destructive war going on there, after leaving the country where her mother and family live.   

"Why would people want to destroy their homes and cities?" I asked.  "It's complicated," she replied.  No it's not.  It's stupid.  Immigrants come to Canada and call themselves "Ukrainian Canadians" or "Hungarian Canadians"......or whatever.........  They don't identify as "Canadian".  How many generations does it take?  Pierre Trudeau did a great disservice to this country when he brought in "Multiculturalism".  What a disaster!  Now everyone is a "Something-Canadian". 

An economist he wasn't, when it came to the Constitution.  And The Charter?  Forget about it!  Now the Supreme Court is making law and the rights of an individual supersede those of the collective.  He was the worst Prime Minister we have had in recent memory.  Maybe ever.  Period.  The End.   

Do we ever see a gathering of Canadians (no prefix) in Carleton Place protesting?  Do we ever see a gathering of Canadians protesting in Almonte?  Do we ever see a gathering of Canadians protesting in Airdrie?  Do we ever see a gathering of Canadians protesting in Winnipeg?  Do we ever see a gathering of Canadians protesting in Port Albernie?  Do we ever see a gathering of Canadians protesting in Halifax?  Do we ever see a gathering of Canadians protesting in St. John's?  Do we ever see a gathering of Canadians protesting in North Bay?  Do we ever see a gathering of Canadians protesting in Cochrane?  Do we ever see a gathering of Canadians protesting in Moncton?

No.  It's only "prefix Canadians" who protest whatever is happening back in "their" countries. 

It is decidedly un-Canadian.

p.s.  The young woman with whom I spoke this morning about the Ukraine said that conflicts in the Middle East were "in the blood".  What does she think is in the blood of every Eastern European?
