Clark is an actual statesman; I don't think one could say that about any of the current crop of leaders or their also-rans. (I also agree that Broadbent was cut from the same cloth, and I have an equal measure of respect for him, too.)<BR/><BR/>I didn't become politically aware until around the 1984 election, so I didn't really know who Clark was (though at age 11, I was already anti-Mulroney -- lord knows where I got that, as my parents are pretty apolitical). It wasn't till much later that I got to understand who and what he was, and I ended up voting PC in 2000 -- the first and, I suspect, last time I'll ever go near that party or its offspring.<BR/><BR/>Again, great post.M@https://www.blogger.com/profile/13408488215496128814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12941086.post-71923001597016381912007-11-17T19:21:00.000-05:002007-11-17T19:21:00.000-05:00Thanks for this wonderful history lesson and persp...Thanks for this wonderful history lesson and perspective. <BR/><BR/>I saw Clark's piece in the G&M, and also remember your mentioning him on wmtc. I barely knew who he was, other than a short-lived PM. Great post, thank you.laura khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524593142290489958noreply@blogger.com
