HUZZAH! HUZZAH! [Andrew Stuttaford]
Canada’s new PM is, quite clearly, a splendid fellow. Here’s an extract from a recent speech he gave in London: "Now I know it’s unfashionable to refer to colonialism in anything other than negative terms. And certainly, no part of the world is unscarred by the excesses of empires. But in the Canadian context, the actions of the British empire were largely benign and occasionally brilliant."
Eat your heart out, George Washington.
