    Right. But I thought it was cool - especially the group name. Wasn't the original headline shown in "Airplane" - 1980, starring Leslie Nielsen?

    Caution: Canadian Politics

    Leslie Nielsen was very funny -- but his (real-life) brother, Erik Nielsen, was quite serious. As a member of Parliament, he had to be. He was named Deputy Prime Minister of Canada from 1984-1986, by the late Rt. Hon. Brian Mulroney, who died on Feb. 29th, 2024. Then-Prime Minister Mulroney also made the Hon. Mr. Nielsen President of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada, from 1984-85.

    That role is explained here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_of_the_King's_Privy_Council_for_Canada

    The late Hon. Erik Hersholt Nielsen served as MP for the Yukon for over 30 years. He won 11 straight Federal elections and also served as Minister of Defence from 1985-86. Mr. Nielsen died in 2008.

    There's a Trudeau joke in there somewhere....

    Likely -- and maybe even a dissertation topic or two -- but I can't find them. And you already have your own row to hoe. :)
