Justin's mum could also swear - enough to make a sailor blush, so I believe.

I don't know much about Canada and its politics but I do remember the time when Justin's mother, Margaret, caused a sensation when she flew into Tokyo to grace the sofa at a night club. She was paid a rather large sum of money to just sit there and pose. She left for home the next day, as I recall.

The Japanese press had a field day with the story, as nobody could believe that a Prime Minister's wife would go to a nightclub. Personally, I didn't see what the fuss was all about.

In spite of everything, Justin seems to have turned out OK.
