Little Johnny meets Justin Trudeau ... Justin Trudeau was visiting a primary school in Lanark and visited a grade four class. They were in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings. The teacher asked Mr. Trudeau if he would like to lead the discussion on the word tragedy. So our illustrious Party Leader asked the class for an example of a tragedy. One little boy stood up and offered: If my best friend, who lives on a farm, is playing in the field and a tractor runs him over and kills him, that would be a tragedy. No, said Trudeau, that would be an accident. A little girl raised her hand: If a school bus carrying 50 children drove off a cliff, killing everyone, that would be a tragedy. Im afraid not, explained Trudeau. Thats what we would call great loss. The room went silent. No other child volunteered. Trudeau searched the room. Isnt there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy? Finally at the back of the room, Little Johnny raised his hand. The teacher held her breath. In a quiet voice he said: If the plane carrying you and Mrs. Trudeau was struck by a friendly fire missile and blown to smithereens that would be a tragedy. Fantastic! exclaimed Trudeau, Thats right. And can you tell me why that would be a tragedy? Well, says Johnny, it has to be a tragedy, because it sure as hell wouldnt be a great loss... and you can bet your sweet ass it wouldnt be an accident either! The teacher left the room..
