“The honourable member for Central Nova has come a long way from that log cabin in Pictou County,” Trudeau said. “I see that he has put away his rumpled trousers and old sweaters, to be brought out again at the next election. In the meantime, it is nice for us in this chamber to be able to bask in the glow, in the benign smile of a man who sent such shivers of pleasure down the spines of the matrons all the way from Oyster Pond to Mushaboom. I can assure the leader of the opposition that we all wish him good luck, good health, and, as they say in show business, ‘break a leg.’” Arthur Milnes is an accomplished public historian and award-winning journalist.  He was research assistant on The Rt.
