Kickstarter, Canadian Government Edition.

Jokes aside, that's pretty good idea and investment.

Interesting profile on Trudeau from The Walrus. I tend to like these types of behind the scenes looks.

Thought this Trudeau article was a good read, sheds some light on his background and his mom walking out on the family when he was a kid:

But in the same breath, we also spoke about George R. R. Martin, Douglas Adams, Stephen King, and the rest of every precocious schoolboy’s back catalogue.

He's a fan!

I think that was a bug; try the Globe and Mail piece on it. Making its way across most news sites now.

In the official biographical material about Pierre Trudeau and his sons, one reads much about their endless nature hikes, canoe trips, skiing vacations, and such.
Reads a lot like a New Yorker interview.

Its a puff piece that needs to be read while drinking a gentle chardonnay with you're personal 5 piece string orchestra plays in the background.

I laughed because in the end it says that if Justin loses its because older people don't get his connection with the youth of the country.

Its a pretty cringe worthy schlock piece.

I've had that happen before too, Captain. Just need to clear your browser's cookies and that will fix it.
