[@Nwmguy]

+Chameleonlife It is relevant to the new Star Wars movie and our current Prime Minister. To me this video serves to showcase the culture phenomenon that is Star Wars. How it fit into people's live then compared to now. They said nothing of Justin's ability as a leader or anything about his hair. This is just an archival culture piece. It is better than a lot of what passes as news on American channels. They just uploaded this video because it is interesting.

With the persistent media reminders about the repetition of Trudeaux, can't help but think of that line, "First time as a tragedy, second time as a farce." Things have certainly changed quite a bit since 1983. The data economy was barely a blip in most people's minds. Yet Canada is still primarily a commodity economy. Li'l Justin hasn't started to govern yet and Canadian media so many PM selfies! As if we were trying to reach into a mirror of long gone history. The past is not an eternal return of the same, no matter how hard we try, the tide erodes the shore
