One day I was in Montreal around 1993, hanging out on the sidewalk and this young guy comes up to me. Proceeds to tell me he is a ballet dancer with the Montreal Ballet and has a family home overlooking Lake Ontario, I think it was, some lake anyway -- maybe he was trying to pick me up, who knows. I'm straight and was naive at the time, so I took him to just be a nice guy.
But I never did shake the belief that it was this young Trudeau I bumped into that day, the face, the demeanor, as I recall, and he would have been around the same age at that time.
I saw him swanning about downtown Toronto around the year 2002 or 2003 at around 5:00pm. It could have been him, he did like to walk around with us peasants in those days. I doubt it would be Lake Ontario. The wealthy in Montreal would have cottages in the Eastern Townships or in the Laurentians.
I could be wrong about that but the Anglophone elite of Quebec are snobs about Ontario and they are powerful in Canada. Quebec was the financial centre of Canada until approx 1970, Toronto was "hogtown",or "the big smoke". We were industrial and more working class here. Many of the anglophone Quebecois have maintained their snobbery generations later.
Anyway, not a big deal just a bit of Canadian culture there as an FYI. I find like this interesting about where I live and I like details like this when others tell me about where they live and know.
I swear, it was Trudeau...
