One more reason to love Margaret Thatcher

October 29, 2009 by Andrea Mrozek 4 Comments

Margaret Wente in today’s Globe:

There was only one woman Mr. Trudeau failed to charm: Margaret Thatcher. She loathed him, especially when he launched his personal peace initiative under the influence of Ms. Kidder. By then, it was the early eighties and a vast number of Canadians, including me, had grown to loathe him, too. 

But then one night he kissed me on the hand, and all was forgiven.

I knew Pierre Trudeau cavorted with dictators, dabbled in fascism, embraced communism, tanked Alberta. I did not know he abused women too. And for this, so many revere him? When those are your sins, I don’t forgive for a kiss on the hand, I’ll tell you that much. Say it ain’t so, Margaret Wente. Why can’t more women have the sense of Margaret Thatcher?

    What I find to be the greatest concern around the Trudeau story is not his poor political or personal record it is the ongoing positive treatment he generally gets in the media. This borders on fanaticism. If the ‘objectivity’ of journalists is so suspect to ‘charm’ they betray their profession. That this same media is giving the public the ‘news’ on current issues is equally troublesome.

    Yuck. Is it just me, or does it seem that so many “liberal” men turn out to be misogynist pigs?

    It doesn’t say much for Canada that this country chooses Pierre Trudeau as one of its greatest Canadians. Of course, the pickings are so slim in this country that the people are taken in by anyone with a shred of charism, even if they are arrogant and have an insatiable ego.

    I’m sure Margaret Thatcher wasn’t the only woman he failed to charm. I certainly don’t find smarmy liberals very appealing.
