His impromptu poetry recital and sly allusion to a certain alter ego—Smokey Sussex—made headlines aroundthe world. We asked Trudeau’s parliamentary colleagues from every party to take the same challenge. Liberal MP Peter Schiefke played along. He had a hard time picking a favourite MP out of the 337 people who surround him in the House of Commons. Maclean’s andl’actualité will celebrate a new class of MPs at Welcome to the Hill, a gala event at Ottawa’s Chateau Laurier on Feb. 23. The evening will culminate in a ceremony that honours an outstanding former parliamentarian with a lifetime achievement award.
