Joy riding with Pierre Trudeau

April 20, 2011

PHILIP
“So are people talking about the election much?”

TONY
“Some are sometimes but you know that Jack Layton guy, I’m getting to like him more and more. He really cares about people. But I’ll tell you the one  I liked the best was Mr. Pierre Elliott Trudeau. No question about that. Now there was a guy who was concerned about, you know, ordinary folks.  A very nice and decent man too.”

PHILIP
“How do you know all this?  Did you meet him or something?”

TONY
“Did I meet him? I drove him and and Margaret around in my limo.”

TONY
“You’re looking something happy. Did you get lucky or something?”

PHILIP
“Very funny. Wait until my wife reads this.”

TONY
“OK. So now I get to ask you for once: ‘What’s up with you with that big smile?'”

PHILIP
“Ignatieff made a big decision. He’s doing what he’s gotta do.”

TONY
“You mean the Prime Minister?”

PHILIP
“Well, he’s not the Prime Minister, not yet,  anyways. But he’s got Peter Donolo on his team now. You know what’s cool? Peter’s a Montrealer, just like me. And he just turned 50, just like me.”

TONY
“So, do you know the guy? ”

PHILIP
“No. We went to different schools.  Anyway, things are looking up for the Grits and that makes me happy. That’s all.”

TONY
“OK. Good for you. Are you going calm down now?”

PHILIP
“OK. But just give me some slack, OK. ”

TONY
“OK. But can you buy me a coffee?”

PHILIP
“OK.”
