    Wow, that’s a read. Conrad was outraged by Chretien thwarting his desire to be a Lord by…pointing out the laws of Canada. Renounced his citizenship out of spite after losing two law suits where he attempts to have the courts say the law doesn’t apply to him. And then, after all this, loses his seat due to non-attendance, after he’s been quoted as saying he wants to restart his political career (and then doesn’t). Every step of the way, he touts his exceptionalism due to the large pile of cash he sits atop. And as a cute aside, gets convicted of fraud in the U.S. and is pardoned by Trump, which is pretty damning in my eyes. A true caricature of humanity.
