Decent chap. Friends of mine in Montreal say his son is the Canadian Seacrest? Bizarre.

Hate to burst the bubble but he is a slime bucket of epic prportions. Put Canada into one of the worst recessions in history. Lots of serious shady backdoor dealings that are still to this day suspect. He's the equivilent of a snooty GW Bush. His son Ben, equally slimey (ew I can't believe I wrote his name) hosts Canadian Idol. (Take from me people I know who participated in CI have confirmed his depth of slimeage) Although Ryan Seacrest can grate, nAH-hu-thing compares to ew Ben...or his parental unit. Decent chap? Couldn't be further from the truth.

I really just know him from TV growing up. I'm sure you're right. He looks so friendly though!

See. THAT's what TV does to us.

"It's pervasive like noxious fumes that KILL you and your family."
(Ok I just totally stole that line from a play by Stewart Lemoine called Cocktails at Pam's.)

However, looks CAN deceive....eh?

Have to agree with CMAC—can't feel too much love swirling around Mulroney except when he looks in the mirror. He's about the most vilified politician in recent Canadian history and with good reason. His son also feels the self-love and is as vacuous off the set as on. At least his father can read from a teleprompter.

Come to think of it I would love to see our Jeff here have a sitdown with ol' Ben (who ps covers the TO Film Fest for TV) Personally, I'd buy tickets to it. Jeff would eat 'em alive AND provide comedy. As we say on the prairies: a twofer...(I made that last part up).

but.. but.. but.. he looked on approvingly while Maggie Ron and John single-handedly destroyed communism! He has to be awesome. I will investigate before I speak next time regarding Premiers of Canada. Though can we all agree without me looking into it that Harper is a twat?

Yeah, except his son is even more bland than Seacrest. Seriously every time I see him on TV I wanna slap whomever thought he had a personality or was at all interesting. He's more like the Paris Hilton of Canada - except he has a real job. Nobody knows why he's famous, yet he is.

You mean "Prime Ministers of Canada". "Premiers" are provincial.

But you got it right about Harper. That asshat.

We (spousal unit and I) went for dinner then we watched Mamet's Redbelt (which ps, I really kinda dug..oops my 70's world snuck through) so I missed this last interlude. However, like so many leaders of countries our dear Brian got caught up in his own ego and sense of power and really fucked alot of people around while jacking off leaders of other countries namely the G8 nations that control the world's power and wealth. Leaving many in the dust. He's NOT what many would like to believe. Quite like some film producers I suppose, if you suck enough you know what, eventually you might reap rewards. I speak as a slightly bitter (yet still more often than not ) employed actor.
PSS Harper is Cheney and Maggie Thachers' love child. As I have said before, like the out of control dog that bites small children he should be put down. Alas my country suffers from the illness America suffers from,electing retarded people for public office. Such a shame really "We coulda' been a contender"

If you want to see how truly annoying Ben is check him out on youtube. One of the sad things about Canadian TV (and there are a LOT of sad things about it as it blows) is that you don't have to go to broadcast school to host TV shows - you have to have no personality, charm or presence - you just have to be an annoying douchebag who knows at the tv channel or production company.

Mulroney: possibly the worst Prime Minister in our history. He gave us the GST - the 7% sales tax on EVERYTHING that obliterated our economy - and the Young Offenders Act - a law that set maximum sentences to three years for ANY CRIME, including murder and rape, for anyone under 18 yrs of age. Oh yeah it also forbade anyone publishing the names or photographs of the criminals.

Teenages would commit crimes and write, Thank you YOA, at the scene, laughing because they knew they'd get away with anything even if caught.
