Sheila Copps... is coming, to town (sing to "Santa Claus is coming to town"

One of the original Brat Pack (Dingwall, Chretien, Copps, Kinsella etc.... wait, Chretien??) in the Liberal government, Sheila Copps seemed destined for great things. She and her cohorts were, 15 years ago, the young, the un-tampered-with, the rebels in the government. My generation believed they would finally bring good government, responsible government, to Canada.

God only knows what happened. Patronage, swishy positions, false fame... who knows.

Anyway, Sheila was so hot in politics at one point that Canada's national news magazine, Saturday Night, actually got her dressed in leathers and posing on a motorbike on their cover one month. I tried to find that picture to post here, but I can't find anything of Sheila except one tiny .jpg. I guess the Saturday Night cover was copyrighted and there was a big fight with the photographer, so you who missed it may never get to see it.

All that being said, she is turning up here, in Frebruary, in our little town of Ajijic to speak to members of the Canadian Club (I am a member, but as with Groucho Marx, I won't go to any group meetings where they would actually have me).
