Mulroney was the reigning champ since 1984, or for forty years.

If you history wonks want a rabbithole, research Lester B Pearson and his role in the creation of the UN.

The UN wouldn't exist but for his persistence.

@PNS another name to add to the list of folks I should visit if I ever build a time machine...

@PNS

Lotta Irish named Pearson.

Just sayin'

My dad recently said "I used to hate Mulroney, I thought he was an arrogant asshole and he was hurting Canada. Now I finally understand he was doing what the country needs to survive and we're living through what would have happened if he didn't do those things"

We've been a red family for generations, we're now outspoken blue (and when blue isn't blue enough, purple)

By my math Trudy is just Lester Pearson 2.0, giving the nation over to the globalists.

@sj_zero

Attempts to ratify the UN among the involved nations failed time and again. And LBP was dogged in its creation, likely because he craved the legacy for saving the world or some shit.

The desire for "legacy" can be a really dangerous thing. It leads people to try to do things that aren't good ideas because they think those things represent progress, and they want to be remembered for the progress they created.

Writing the above was sort of an "aha" moment for me, because that explains exactly why so much retarded shit is being pushed through right now, since a lot of leaders are on the verge of death (and someone like Trudeau is just a true believer in the retardation being enabled by the old-ass retards surrounding him)

A true legacy is sort of boring -- it's acting with discipline and principle for a very long time rather than trying to throw out a bunch of revolutions in the last few years of your life. It's like being the "fun dad" vs. the disciplinarian dad who makes you do your homework every night. The former might think he's doing something special that'll make you remember him for doing some flash in the pan fun stuff, but the latter is building your life in ways that'll ripple positively over generations.
