Adding colour to Canada Day festivities on July 1 were The Queen, Prime Minister Stephen Harper and even a prime minister brought back from the dead--Mackenzie King, Canada's longest-serving and perhaps greatest PM. Who were these look-alikes? The Queen was Mary Aggett, 81, from Anola where she lives on a 40-acre property. "Prime MInister Harper" is really Todd Dobson, a tool planner in the aerospace industry, and "Prime Minister Mackenzie King" is Ed Lussier, who was fixing computers in the 1960s, before most of us even knew what a computer was. He appeared in the TV movie about Don Cherry as a dinner guest in a scene depicting Cherry accepting coach of the year honours in 1972. The Mounties weren't real Mounties either. They were Joel Waldie, a bartender and guitar teacher, and Scott Spulnich, bartender. |
