I have been pretty busy lately catching up with emails and working really hard, so I haven't had much time to work on writing more journal entries this week (oh, I have so much planned!).

But I just wanted to express my sadness at Canada losing one of its great figures in history.

Pierre Trudeau has been one of my heroes for as long as I can remember.  Love him or hate him, he stuck to his guns and took no crap from anyone.  He was a great example, and I admired him.  (I, for one,  am in the "love him" crowd.)

I'm sure the country is in shock and mourning.  Me too.
