Was Lester B. Pearson too nice to be prime minister? Was John Diefenbaker a mad, bug-eyed egotist? And was Pierre and Margaret Trudeau’s marital relationship a little like that of father and daughter?

Very interesting.I just love this post.

Her comics remind me a lot of some of Brad Neely’s work. I would expect more stuff like this in the future – I don’t mean Canadian history comics, though, rather I mean stuff with that kind of sense of humour. It is very Gen-Y.

PS: she is not the first comic book writer to include Canadians. Here is Pierre Trudeau in the X-men:

Hooray! Yippee! Just what I’ve been talking about for the last decade or so.

Thanks so much, Ms. Beaton, for putting personalities back into our history, and for bringing our history to the masses.

Actually I don’t see anything offensive to native persons in that comment. I suspect that they too marched across the continent for hundreds if not thousands of years before any other nationality arrived here
