| Written by Richard Gwyn. Published by Fitzhenry & Whiteside Ltd., 2006. Description: |
| Seldom has there been a political leader so complex, so
impossible to predict, so difficult to understand, so private and yet so
public, as Pierre Elliot Trudeau, Canada’s Prime Minister from 1968 to
1979, and again from 1980 to 1984. "Canadians came to embrace him as they had no other leader since Wilfred Laurier, prime minister from 1896 until 1911. By the time of his death, the achievements Trudeau had established for Canada - the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, a federal policy of multiculturalism, a federal policy of official bilingualism, a federal recognition of equality of the provinces with no special status for Quebec, an international policy of peacekeeping and 'human security' - had become an inseparable part of the country. In fact, to English-speaking Canadians especially, they were Canada. The Canada of the twenty-first century is Trudeau's Canada." – Richard Gwyn, author Recommended for readers aged 12+, (Grades 7+). |
