Re: Canadas government setup
 

I've hardly ever seen anyone in Calgary wearing fur. On the news the other day there was a feature where they were interviewing people on the street in Toronto about relaunching fur to wear and they nearly all recoiled in disgust at the suggestion. It just seems strange then that an eastern liberal PC luvvie and his family should be draped in dead animal skins on a Christmas card.

It's not something I would have noticed, fur is commonly worn in Canada. Perhaps they're making a statement but I'd think it more likely they just grabbed something warm and traditional. It seems they're not as sensitive to European concepts of political correctness as yourself.

"Eastern" seems wrong, btw, isn't this the Trudeau who lives in Vancouver?

Occasionally I've noticed retirement age women wearing fur in Calgary but I wouldn't say wearing fur is common at all. Wearing jeans/hats/gloves/boots/fleece jacket is common but fur?

Does he still live in BC? Wouldn't that make being the MP for somewhere in Quebec rather tricky?

Re: Canadas government setup
 

I see people in fur every day, I suppose it may be a local phenomenon but I believe it's considered an act of loyalty to Canada, supporting the poor people of Newfoundland, the traditional culture, all that Canadiana crap. I don't currently have any fur but then I don't claim to share the values of the country.

Legally he'd need an address in his constituency but, no, I don't think he'd more or less effective as an MP for somewhere if he never visited the place.
