...American voting systems. In Canada, a prime minister may enjoy an unlimited stay in power, so long as he never allows more than five years to pass without calling an election. Chretien has served as prime minister since 1993; he is seeking his third term in office. Pierre Trudeau, the former Canadian prime minister who passed away two months ago, led the nation for 16 years. The advantages of allowing such long stints in power are continuity of vision and protection against negative change. It is never wise to change paths just for a taste of something new.

...think of PIERRE TRUDEAU as the first postmodern politician. He loved to repudiate conventional partisan ideologies, and if, in the end, that served his partisan goals, well, there would be just a little Gallic upturn at the corners of his mouth. He had a near perfect understanding of the possible uses of celebrity. If a photographer was close, he'd manage a jackknife off the low board, a rose in his buttonhole or a pretty woman on his arm.
