5 Living next to you is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant. No matter how friendly and even-tempered is the beast, if I can call it that, one is affected by every twitch and grunt. Pierre Trudeau Addressing the Press Club in Washington, D.C. (25 March 1969) "Free trade with the United States is like sleeping with an elephant. It's terrific until the elephant twitches, and if the elephant rolls over, you are a dead man. I'll tell you when he's going to roll over. He's going to roll over in times of economic depression and they are going to crank up the plants in Georgia and North Carolina and Ohio, and they're going to be shutting them down here." Brian Mulroney to the Globe and Mail (1983)
