“Like father, like son,” goes the old adage. It’s rarely been more accurate than in the case of former prime minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau, and son Justin. Pierre was once asked for his views on democracy and communism, and stated that a one-party state would be the ideal government.
The coincidences are many– to an extent that Canadian media couldn’t defend them if they tried. A remedy was therefore implemented: do not write about it. We speak of political affinity between former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, and current PM Justin Trudeau.
50 years ago today, Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau announced multiculturalism as an official government policy. It was the first policy of its kind in the world, and it recognized and celebrated a fundamental characteristic of our heritage and identity – our diversity.
