so we can only show you this sampling of Trudeau quotes.
Pierre Trudeau's book Memoirs is a monument to human vanity that refreshes the reader's memory about all Trudeau's tendencies to glibness, faddishness, pretension, and the affected posturing of the inherited-money limousine liberal... --Conrad Black, The Financial Post, February 26, 1994.
The process begun by Trudeau of using the federal treasury and parliament to identify and appease ethnic, regional, behavioural, sexual, and physiological complainant groups has become both dangerous and absurd. Virtually everyone except Anglo-Saxon, able-bodied, middle-aged, heterosexual, male, middle-class Ontarians is now the officially recognized bearer of a subventionable grievance. --Conrad Black, A Life in Progress (Toronto: Key Porter Books, 1993), p.513.
[Trudeau's] incitement of ethnic, occupational, regional, and sexual groups debased public policy and ultimately almost bankrupted the country. He, more than anyone, turned Canada into a people of whining politically conformist welfare addicts. --Conrad Black, A Life in Progress (Toronto: Key Porter Books, 1993), p.113.
The process begun by Trudeau of... organizing society into clamouring categories of self-pitiers is scarcely distinguishable from and just as dangerous as Quebec's old practice, much despised in English Canada, of putting collective rights ahead of individual rights. This is, and has always been, recognized as a matrix for dictatorship, whether we are purporting to protect society from Communists, Jehovah's Witnesses, assorted bigots, wife beaters, gay bashers, office voyeurs, or discriminatory hirers. --Conrad Black, A Life in Progress (Toronto: Key Porter Books, 1993), p.513.
By its superficiality, myth-making, and self-importance, [Trudeau's Memoirs ] grossly insults the poor voters who remained that have so faithful to him for so long. Their disillusionment must now be complete. --Conrad Black, The Financial Post, February 26, 1994.
[Trudeau's] relentless truckling to special-interest groups and his fetishistic attachment to regulation, transfer payments, and zero economic growth substantially limited the relevance of his apparently sincere attachment to individual liberties. --Conrad Black, A Life in Progress (Toronto: Key Porter Books, 1993), p.248-249
