1510 - "Trudy"


It used to be easier in conversation to tell Prime Minister Trudeau apart from his father, also Prime Minister Trudeau.  After all, both at the time of their election were forward-thinking, youthful, and dynamic leaders with tons of personal charisma.  But then Trudeau Elder got wrapped up in the National Energy Program, where Ottawa dictated to Western Canada exactly how to collect and sell their energy resources to the rest of the nation.  The NEP divided Canada and brought down the ruling Liberal political party at the time.

So that's an easy way to tell Trudeau Elder apart from Trudeau Younger, since our current Prime Minister Trudeau has so far created national consensus regarding sharing energy resources fairl-

Oh.  Whoops!

Well, another way to tell the Prime Ministers Trudeau apart is to call ours "Trudy".  

At first I was trying for a far more South Park style of Trudy - I had wanted to call this JSVB entry "Cartoony Trudy" - but I settled for more of a caricature.  What could I possibly need with this artwork, do you think?
