The legacy of Trudeau:
1. The National Energy Program that caused many, many people in Alberta to fall into deep financial hardship. Lots of folks, when they could not make their mortgage payment, simply left their home and let the banks take it back.
2. The metric system which caused many small businesses to go under due to the heavy cost of conversion. Our largest trading partner, the US, is still using the imperial system. Good for the Kingston area where you can still buy your hamburger in pounds and not kilos.
3. The war measures act which is still active in our Parliament. At any time, this can be invoked and arrests can be made without showing cause.
4. Our national debt was started with this man and his liberal programs.

And many more items!

We, in Alberta, now have become quite diversified and that is our silver lining!
