   Pierre Trudeau - God rest his soul   
   17 Jul 16 14:36:34   
   
   Pierre Trudeau has passed into history being loved for his frankness.   
      
   On many occasions he referred to Quebec City as a "Bidonville". That's a   
   French word which means "Shanty-town or a suburb of a city built out of old   
   tin cans and boxes".   
      
   He really like to tell the Liberal Party of Canada what he thought of them.    
      
   In a letter to the Editor of Montreal's La Press newspaper he compared the LPC   
   to the Communist Party in Russia.   
      
   On another occasion, he stood up in the House of Commons and complained,   
   "Canadians want us to control spending by the civil service. How are we   
   supposed to do that when the Liberal Party of Canada can only get gas station   
   attendants elected to the House    
   of Commons?"
