on the question of public apologies, i agree more with the elder trudeau than the younger one.
but, this is true when it comes to most things.
it's all very nice that he's sorry and everything, but i ultimately don't care if he is or not. it's easy to apologize for something that happened largely before you were born, and then exploit the optics for cynical political gain. yet, i don't even care if he does that or not: that's politics, that's how things work. what i care about is the legislation that he's writing. you want this neo-liberal pro-market slant, fine: show me the legislation. and, on that note, i'll agree that the legislation that was presented is a positive, if it helps people clear their names, for whatever use that is to them. but, i'm more interested in the present and the future than i am in the past; and the legislation exists today in the present, not in the past.
