Poll says three in four want Trudeau to go, but Junior insists he’ll stay
On Feb. 28, 1984, Pierre Trudeau went for his famous walk in the snow where he made a decision about his political future.
The next day — a leap year Feb. 29 — his boys, including a future prime minister, tumbled into his bedroom to say goodbye to dad before heading to school. It was then that Pierre told them, “Boys, it’s time to go.” The elder Trudeau announced his resignation that day, clearing the way for a decade of rule by Brian Mulroney’s Progressive Conservatives.
