Calgary school won't be named Trudeau
 
More chance of a "Margaret Thatcher" primary school in Blyth I think.

I believe the first comment (at least when I looked) at the bottom of the article may succinctly sum up local feeling on the subject:

"Rot in hell Pierre."

:rofl:

So his efforts to establish two official languages and prevent Quebec from leaving are reasons to have his name on a school? Greeeeaaaat. Thanks for those Pierre.

Pierre managed to strengthen the separation movement in Quebec while at the same time alienating the west. Pierre is Ontario's sweetheart and is the most polarizing political figure in Canadian history.

Canada needs more polarizing characters. Stick Trudeau's name up on the school.

One the the great liberals of the 20th century.

I don't think I would want to live in a Canada that had not been transformed by Trudeau and Pearson.

Of course, the Albertans didn't like him. Nor did Maggie, which is always a recommendation.

As you're well aware the slogan can be attributed to our at the time mayor "King Ralph" asshole extraordinaire.:p
