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. Conservative MP Todd Doherty played along. Spoiler alert: Doherty’s favourite song is on the other side of this link. 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.
