Bud Errington newspaper photo clipping - Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau tries to wield his charm while skirting protesters on his way into a $50-a-plate Liberal Party fundraiser held at Seaforth Armoury, August 8, 1969 (possibly occurred on 31 July, 1969). Intermedia was invited to produce site specific audio/visual installations at the Seaforth Armory for Pierre Trudeau’s 1969 Liberal Party Fundraiser. Pierre Trudeau gave an address to his supporters and jazz singer Eve Smith provided entertainment. Bud Errington was possibly a Vancouver Police Inspector. From the Vancouver Anarchist Archives: "Pierre Trudeau Incites A Riot by Theo Rosen (Willy E.) Pierre Eliot Trudeau is given a $50 a plate dinner at the Seaforth Armories by his party. The LSA/YS old-line Trotskyists organize a demonstration with the slogan. “End Canada’s Complicity In Viet-Nam”. PET grants the Trots their wish and promises to speak to the demonstrators outside the Armories before his dinner. But the peoples mood at the Armory, he is to find, revolves not around the Viet-Nam War, but rather the presence of a goodly portion of the local bourgeoisie at the dinner. This presence became evident when the (paying) guests started arriving at the side gates of the Armories. The emphasis was on big, expensive European cars: Rolls Royces, Bentlys, Mercedes. Most of the people were seeing the bourgeoisie in person for the first time in their lives. While the LSA/YS stayed around front with their sound truck, reciting bad poetry and enacting worse “guerrilla theatre” , the militants, a non-sectarian grouping of student radicals, Wobblies and street people, gathered around the gates. Everybody did their thing – The Womens’ Caucus handed pamphlets on women’s liberation to the young debutants in the cars. A woman from the Voice of Women, very prim, very middle class-looking, calmly stopped cars, making sure each one got her leaflet on chemical and biological warfare. The Feed-in people came with a free dinner of hot dogs and bananas, while the bourgeoisie ate God knows what. (Except that it cost $50) The huge automobiles lack of manoeuverability in the crowd, which led to several collisions, provided entertainment."
