If Jean Chretien was one of the seven dwarves, which one would he be?
It seems Prime Minister Jean Chretien reminds 52 per cent of Ryerson students surveyed of Dopey Dwarf from that Disney classic, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Stephanie Smith, a Journalism student, said, “He seems like he’s half asleep when he’s talking.” Kevin Lew, a Mechanical Engineering student, said Chretien’s big ears were a contributing factor to his Dopey-esque look.
Ten per cent of the 50 students surveyed said Chretien looked like Doc. Nutrition student Cara Bowman said the Prime Minister reminds her of Doc because, “He thinks he can fix anything.”
Sleepy Dwarf was another popular choice, at 14 per cent. Hina Awan, an Arts student, chose Sleepy because she said Chretien, “does nothing and says nothing, he just takes up space.”
A few students, four per cent, thought our illustrious leader reminded them of Bashful. Brunella Mazzotta said, “He’s so cute, I love that man.”
It seems there are a few of you on campus, six per cent, who think Chretien looks like a Happy Dwarf. Lisa Kattinger, an RTA student, said, “He cracks jokes and doesn’t take things too seriously.”
On the other hand 14 per cent thought Jean Chretien should take some happy pills so that he won’t remind them of Grumpy Dwarf.
A few students invented their own dwarf that they felt would befit Canada’s Prime Minister. Here are their suggestions: Backfarmer Dwarf, Frenchie Dwarf and Speech Impediment Dwarf.
