'the little guy from shawinigan' and he was a good PM. He always had the best lines. My favourite was when he was running for the Liberal leadership in 1984 and he started his speech with "Brian! Brian! Do not adjust your tv" to the Conservative PM at the time, Brian Mulrooney, who everyone assumed was watching the Liberal convention at home.The audience roared. He was a fighter. I'm sure he'll use that fight to get better in Hong Kong. Vibes.
