Treat her like a princess. This might mean bringinger flowers, it might mean saying "I love you" to her every morning, or it might mean executing her whenever there's a change in government.
You can't make this shit up (and, unless you're a masochist, it's questionable as to whether you'd even want to): Brian "Talk Unctuously and Carry a Big Chin" Mulroney is being profiled in a book by Peter C. Newman, who was given hours of access to the former Prime Minister's store of wit, wisdom, bitterness, and bile. Some samples:
"Trudeau's contribution was not to build Canada but to destroy it, and I had to come in and save it."
"[The Meech Lake Accord was] the sweetest deal ever known to man and it was thrown away."
"Nobody has achievements like this ... you cannot name a Canadian prime minister who has done as many significant things as I did, because there are none."
On the video of Clyde Wells hugging Jean Chrétien at the Liberal leadership convention in the wake of the former's knife in the side of Meech Lake: "That was the modern equivalent of hugging Macdonald for hanging Louis Riel. This is like the hanging of Louis Riel on videotape."
I'll offer some commentary once I manage to pick my jaw up off the floor.
