Trudeau Snr, Levesque, Mulroney -Who speaks best?

[August1991]

I have heard all speak, in person - both languages.

I reckon that Trudeau Snr was best. I saw him several times, in person,  in both languages.

Levesque ? II saw him once in the Assemblee.

I remember a meetng with Mulroney.

(I have never seen or heard Trudeau Jnr,

You have tree good fellows but i trust more Trudeau father than the other two for his justice and moral. His son is the devil compared to him, exactly the opposite of his father.

I reckon that a good leader must use language well - a turn of phrase.

In Canada, to be a good leader, this is more difficult.

None of them spoke particularly well in my opinion. Trudeau snr may have been the best of the three you listed, and he presented himself as an intellectual. He set the bar for Canadian liberal values especially for his time.

Levesque, I could not understand him. His English was pretty bad and besides, he could never represent all of Canada, was just a foil for Quebecer seperatism.

Mulroney, I did not trust him. When he spoke, his mouth was too small.

Putin speaks Russian well; Putin speaks Russian like an educated person

Trudeau spoke French like an older but educated person.

Disagree, Trudeau Snr and Levesque were always a delight.

Like Putin, I knew that I would something new.

I think here you mean you enjoyed what they were saying, not how they were saying it. In the opening post I assumed you were talking about style and verbal clarity.

I agreed with much that Pierre Trudeau said, especially the part about the state not having any business in the bedrooms of Canadians. His son needs to take a page from that.

Mr. Levesque, I don't know him. I defer to your opinion... if you say so.

Mr. Mulroney spoke english very well, but I neither enjoyed what he said, nor how he said it!

I always turned on the TV when Trudeau Snr spoke. I knew I would hear something new.

In both languages, he was a delight.

This kind of makes me think how we in Finland had this party-princess called Sanna Marin as our Prime Minister and she caught even international attention and many people here in Finland were amazed what a super PM we had.

Then we had elections and her party lost and boring adults took charge again and nobody now knows outside of Finland who the Finnish PM is.

It is very much the same with you in Canada. Justin Trudeau is well known across the world. His predecessors weren't and most likely his successors won't be either.

We in Canada get along.

You Finns -like Norwegians- have a different view of life.

Listening to this Carlson/Putin interview, I listened to their language.

I was reminded of the Nixon/Frost interview. 

Putin speaks better Russian than Nixon spoke English.

In Canada, we have the delight of two languages.
