@ottaross I would love to hear more from Jody Wilson Raybould.

[ottaross@mastodon.social]

@Cassandra Wonder what she's up to now - probably with a law firm somewhere.

@ottaross Writing books, at least, four since 2019.

Edit: I have now placed a hold at the library.

@ottaross Wow this is a spicy list!

[ottaross@mastodon.social]

@sundogplanets It would please only the news media. lol

[lillyherself@mastodon.social]

@ottaross Had no idea Margaret Sinclair Trudeau was still alive. She must be ancient. Still manic-depressive?

[ottaross@mastodon.social]

@LillyHerself last I heard of her was in the context of being a spokesperson for a bipolar disorder association I think.

[ottaross@mastodon.social]

@LillyHerself …and still not even 80.

@ottaross
The Queen of Canada, Romana Didulo, didn’t make it on your list?

[patrickoftheg@mastodon.social]

@jd @ottaross Romana Didulo is a more valid Queen of Canada than our official monarchy. At least she's mentally ill and isn't a sane person who actually believes they have magical ruling blood because her ancestors were better organized bandits than the other thugs.

Many, many years ago as an undergrad, I was flying from Sarnia to Ottawa with my cat and we had a little layover in Pearson. We were sitting in the departure lounge and I opened her carrier door to pet her for a bit because she was feeling a bit skittish... and that's when she bolted. So, there I am, 6' 4" former offensive tackle, in full sprint running after a cat, when the door to the VIP lounge opens right in front of me to GG Adrienne Clarkson and her security detail. I was close enough to have given her a high five if I'd wanted to. In America, I'd have be shot for that manic, aggressive posture, but the security dudes just didn't react at all, so I picked up my cat then set back down as though nothing had happened.

My semi-serious pick for GG would be no one--it's clearly not a real job.
