'LIKE FATHER, (NOT) LIKE SON"
Could you have pictured Pierre E. Trudeau lowering himself to be out hustling $250 sales of an MP's drawings and pitching $1,000 tickets to skate with some other MP?
Until this morning, neither could I until my eyes were blown out when I received the following email:
"Two gift ideas they will never forget"

If you’re still looking to find the perfect holiday gift for family and friends, look no further.
Gerard Kennedy and Ken Dryden have a couple of gift offers your friend or loved ones will never forget. What’s more, by giving one of these unique gifts, you’ll also be helping to retire the remaining leadership debt of two of my good friends and colleagues.
The first gift is a once in a lifetime experience – a skate with Ken Dryden and friends at the Bell Centre, Sunday February 20, 2011.
The only other time Ken Dryden skated at the Bell Centre was the night of the Canadiens’ 100th anniversary game – wearing Carey Price’s equipment! This ticket also includes admission for a child for what I’m sure will be a fun and memorable day. It begins with brunch, followed by the skating, and later a tour of the Canadiens’ Hall of Fame with lots of conversation along the way. Some of Ken’s former Canadiens teammates will be there for the skate, too!
One ticket costs $1,000, which, after your tax credit could cost you as little as $441.67.

The second gift is a unique numbered, signed and personalized limited edition print of a pencil drawing that Gerard drew of Lester B. Pearson, one of his political inspirations. Gerard drew the picture while travelling in a car out of cell-phone range in La Mauricie federal national park in Quebec during the 2006 leadership contest (The original was auctioned to raise funds for the Liberal Party of Canada).
The contribution needed for the print is $250, but because political donations entitle you to a tax credit of up to 75 per cent, the after-tax net cost to you could be as little as $62.50.

With either of these memorable gifts, you will make this holiday season one your family and friends will never forget.

Who's handling this heir-apparent, golden-spooned kid's PR?
Who put him up to it?
Iggy?
