    In 1980, I saw Pierre Trudeau speak when he visited UWO when I was in my final year. Though Trudeaumania was long gone, Alumni Hall was full and many were turned away. It was not an exceptional speech but his presence was electrifying. We had the sense of being in the same hall as Canadian history, which in fact, we were.

    PET (and his three sons) were all on my Air Canada flight from Toronto to Vancouver in 1990..Pierre in first class, Justin & his bros. sat 2 rows behind me in coach. After landing, I spotted PET literally standing with only 1 person, no security, at baggage claim. I gathered my nerve, and walked up & requested an autograph for my mom. He couldn't have been nicer and quiet spoken. And much shorter than I would have thot. An amazing experience and a truly amazing man. rip Monsieur PM.

    I have come realize that PET operated with an understanding far beyond any I or most Canadians, might hope to duplicate. The evolution of a society or cultural entity needs a framework within which a dialogue of modification can exist. He provided this framework through legislation and by example. He gave us the opportunity to dream beyond the status quo as a participant in change rather than a victim of it.

      Not to burst your idiocy bubble because you seem to be short on intelligence, but a worldwide recession happened in the early 1980's. The UK at the time ALSO had double-digit unemployment and it was run by Margaret Thatcher, a Conservative. In the USA, in the mid-80's, unemployment soared into the double-digits under Reagan, another Conservative. But I'm sure to a moron like you, Trudeau is responsible for the recessions in the US and UK at that time as well? lol

      People forget to easily how much of his legacy was not his at all. He didn’t get the constitution he wanted. He came in swinging about the notion that Canadian consensus depends on Quebec. Then 9 out of 10 provinces signed the constitution. And we move on into a fatigue and rupture into our society when he left. We were left with a fatigue and insecurity about our constitution. With no resolve on the Quebec issue. It was a legacy were neither the west or east got what they wanted. Besides the provinces and the power they retained in the charter. The individualism that pier taught was hypocritical at best. You’re not an individualist if you collectivize both English in French. What he is responsible for his liberal party dogma. A small group of people who encourages southeast Asian who immigrate to northern BC to explore their own culture in their own language in their own traditions. But if they want to enter politics they will have to speak two languages one of which they have no exposure to then the same people turn around until Quebec when they are protecting their culture that they do not fit the bill of multiculturalism. It makes no fucking sense in these clichés in our politics or a product of this man’s legacy or what’s left of it. There’s nothing but ignorance fuelling these things people don’t even understand what he has done

      nn nn I’ve been watching down south since their election. And I spend several hours every day on RUclips. That far right , uninformed hate is alive and well in Canada, and our country came dangerously close to electing a dangerous government.
      Just 4 years ago we lit this country up Liberal, after growing more and more horrified at the blatantly unlawful stunts of the Conservatives under Harper.
      What I failed to recognize, was as underhanded and egotistical Harper was, is that he was just a perfect puppet. Governments have shifted far to the right, and to understand why, you have to do some googling. Cambridge Analytics was huge. It still is; it has just changed names. I’m ashamed to say one of the worst far right hate news sites is in Canada. Rebel Media manipulates voters to hate. A lot of young to middle aged people get their information from sites like it. Alex Jones was another absolutely unintelligent conspiracist character who millions believed. He was eventually removed from RUclips. But to get back to Rebel Media. It is anti- Muslim, White Supremacist, and has stirred up so much hate it’s hard to believe. And the man who was a director of Rebel Media, who is the brain behind it, is Scheer’s campaign manager, Hamish Marshall. He is worth a Google Scheer has ties to them too. He’s given them interviews. People are listening to these extremist hate mongers, and believing them. That hatefulness you see in comment sections? That is who these people are. If you try to engage with them for a conversation, they have nothing to say, just hateful rhetoric they have no understanding of. They aren’t interested in truth. They don’t believe in the catastrophe that is climate change. They look around at all the lost manufacturing jobs, and they think, or thought they had a saviour in Trump. I could go on and on, because I’ve finally tracked down laws which were destroyed in order for this right wing shift to occur, but that would be boring.
      Anyway, we held out, just, from electing a disaster.
      Now England will hopefully not exit the EU. That would be another win for Democracy, because the same voters who put Trump in, wanted Brexit.
      Steve Brannon is worth a Google.
      The reasons, the gist of corruption can be traced, but it takes time and research.

      @smallstudiodesign 3 года назад +3

      @@8BigBubba13 there was no draft in Canada after WWI. There was conscription. That was abolished at after WWI due to the horrific tragedy death toll.
      In 1939 the conservatives tried to pressure the government to reinstate mandatory conscription. It wasn’t until 1944 when Canada finally, reluctantly enacted
      Conscription in the Second World War ...
      “Two decades later, as the threat of a new war in Europe became serious, the question of military conscription again caused lively political debate. However, in March 1939, both the Liberal Party and Conservative Party accepted a program rejecting conscription for possible overseas service.When Canada declared war in September 1939, the government renewed its pledge not to conscript soldiers for overseas service.
      In June 1940, as Belgium and France fell to Nazi Germany, the public began to call for a more concerted Canadian war effort. In response, the government passed the National Resources Mobilization Act on 21 June, providing for enlistment only for home defence. Registration took place almost without incident, except for the public opposition of Montreal mayor Camillien Houde, who was interned for four years after he urged constituents to ignore their call-up papers (see “Internment in Canada”).
      In 1941, as recruitment slowly progressed, more people spoke out in favour of conscription, first within the Conservative Party and later among English-speaking Canadians in general. To appease supporters of conscription, Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King decided to hold a non-binding referendum asking Canadians to release the government from its anti-conscription promises.
      In Quebec, the Ligue pour la défense du Canada was established in order to campaign for the “no” side. On 27 April 1942, 72.9 per cent of Quebec residents voted “no.” In all other provinces the “yes” vote triumphed by some 80 per cent. The government then passed Bill 80, authorizing conscription for overseas service if it was deemed necessary. Quebec’s Bloc populaire, formed in response to the Mobilization Act, continued to fight against conscription by presenting candidates for the August 1944 provincial elections and the June 1945 federal elections.
      After D-Day operations and the Normandy campaign in 1944, J.L. Ralston, the minister of national defence, was convinced of the need for overseas conscription. Unexpectedly high casualties on the front, combined with a large commitment of manpower to the Royal Canadian Air Force and Royal Canadian Navy, left the Canadian Army short of recruits.
      King, who had hoped he would not have to invoke Bill 80, replaced Ralston with General A.G.L. McNaughton, who did not support conscription. On 22 November, however, the Prime Minister acknowledged the open pro-conscriptionist sentiments of many of his anglophone Cabinet ministers (who threatened to resign over the matter) and reversed his decision. He announced that conscripts would be sent overseas.”
      In conclusion:
      “Only 12,908 conscripted soldiers, disparagingly known as “zombies”, were sent to fight abroad - a tiny number compared with the hundreds of thousands of Canadian volunteers, including French Canadians, who fought overseas. Only 2,463 reached the front lines before Germany surrendered in May 1945. Still, this second conscription crisis worsened relations between anglophones and francophones in Canada, though to a lesser extent than during the First World War.”

    Trudeau - The worst PM this country ever had.
    "Quebec can make French the only official language in spite of the Constitution". Pierre Trudeau,
    .
    "There is no way two ethnic groups in one country can be made equalbefore the law....and to say it is possible is to sow the seeds ofdestruction".Pierre Trudeau, ."
    ....Given these facts, should French-speaking people concentrate their efforts on Quebec. or take the whole of Canada as their base? In my opinion, they should do both; and for the purpose they could find no better instrument than federalism", Pierre Trudeau,
    .
    "I cannot swear it but I think we were thinking to ourselves,... we are a small group, Trudeau, Pelletier, Marchand, Lalonde, Chrétien, myself and a few people in the civil service, say 50 all told…we were bringing off a revolution. We held the key posts. We were making the civil service bilingual (French), kicking and screaming all the time". Jean-Luc Pepin, Minister of Industry, 1970.
    Over 16 years with Trudeau as prime minister, Canada's national debt skyrocketed by 1,200 per cent, from $17 billion to more than $300 billion.
    Trudeau was the worst PM this country has ever seen and until we repeal all the expensive socialist crap that he forced upon the nation ( the charter, bilingualism, multiculturalism, phony rights bs, big government…) we will continue to go heavily into debt and continue this divisive downward spiral. The truth about Trudeau would be nice for a CHANGE. HE WAS AN ANTI-English language metis bigot. He despised our real BNA and UEL history.
    Trudeau, the CBC-invented national hero, was a huge disaster for Canada. While brave young Canadians were fighting Hitler to liberate Europe, Trudeau was riding around Montreal on his motorcycle wearing a German army helmet, protected by class & money. He was born into wealth, and went from being a law professor to prime minister without having to work a day in his life. He admired brutal dictators and made friends with them, he showed his sons a city in the USSR - built by slave labour - telling them that this was "the way of the future". He allowed Cuba to set up shop in Montreal to spy on the USA, decriminalized homosexuality and put the bedroom on the street, reduced Canada's once powerful military to a shadow of its former self, introduced unnecessary, lavish social benefits and increased our taxes over and over to pay for them, opened up Canada to mass Third World immigration, and appeased the separatists in Quebec by forcing French (bilingualism) onto the whole country, while allowing Quebec to ban English, bills 22, 178, 101...) rather than arrest the traitors and have them charged with treason. And Canadians let him get away with destroying their country under the disguise of "progress."
    Pierre Elliott Trudeau changed Canada from an economically strong, pioneering, Militarily powerful, Eurocentric nation, into a weak, overtaxed, debt-ridden, multicultural disaster.

    I have come to consider the Trudeau era not so much about Trudeau as it is about baby boomers. Remember, you’re watching a program that is shaped, molded and sculpted to distill an image, an impression and a point of view. It’s ultimately a baby boomer viewpoint. At that time, if you were young then, you came of age in a time where everyone grew richer than their parents. And thus the mood was positive, forward looking and confident. This is why Trudeau is loved. It’s not the Trudeau era, it’s the boomer era.

    To be totally honest Kennedy was more celebrity than anything else. "Camelot, style, Catholic, etc." Almost completely morally bankrupt and corrupt. I don't think you can say the same thing about Mr. Trudeau even though I disagreed with his political agenda.

    I was a seperatist in the 70s but in a way I recognize that he was right. His deal is to have Quebecers in power in Ottawa while we 'Independentists' -following René Levesque thoughts- wanted to have a Quebec independent country but associate with Canada. And that is still the big question: Having Quebec in power in Ottawa or a distinct but associate country with the rest of Canada? The question is not resolved today. We still have to think about it. -But when Pierre Trudeau died in Montreal Fidel Castro attended the ceremony and he was showned shaking hands with Jimmy Carter that leads to the negociations to release the blockade of Cuba by the US. We all see now the results that started here in Montreal that day! I still think he was a great man -even after his death!

      Peter Konig Well, let me see, looking over the whole world I think we have it better than most. I also find it frustrating trying to figure politics out. I don't think Canada is part of the "Military Complex" Canada spends only 1% of our Gdp on the military. We need to spend 2%. The world is in a deep recession, If the Countries are all broke no one can buy each others products. Canada at least is keeping our heads above water but we are hurting also. If Trudeau or Mulcair get in, than we will really start hurting. They are clueless when it comes to the economy.

    Bob Rae and his opinion is of no consequence to history. The NDP have never ever won a national election so it is easy to sit there and sound profound when you never ever were given any political significance. Trudeau did not at all look uncomfortable when asked the question (30:46). He thinks about the question and gives a truth answer because he knows the historical significance!!!!!

    Is this the thing they talked about on SModcast? I'm saving it for later because they hyped Trudeau as being fairly eccentric, but also amazing. I'm American and I know very, very little about Canadian politics, but I'm willing and anxious to learn, so I'm gonna watch this no matter what. Just curious as to whether this is the doc that Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier talked about on their show.

    My opinion on the October Crisis : Trudeau made a major misstep. You have a small group of fanatics killing 2 men and you have Trudeau sending the army AND suspending civil rights.That misstep, in my opinion, fractured Canada more than ever. It led to a 49.3 % vote for separation in 1995. I voted Oui, I was 19 in 1995.. I don't know why Trudeau made that blunder. They say in the video that Trudeau thought Nationalism led to Franco and Hitler. ?!? I'm sure Pierre was not that blunt. Rights had been suspended before : think about the japanese-canadian people in WW2. Maybe the reason is that Trudeau, as they say many times in the video, wanted to put Québec in it's right place, and that place is Canada. That is a sad state of affairs when you feel like you SHOULD and want to love your father, but you HATE his guts because he smashed you on the head for something you did not do. What, still, ignites a flame in me is the SUSPENSION of civil rights... For a canadian prime minister that is quite improper...

      min 26:50 hmm...interesting points Jon, but honestly I think the guy was just trying to be tough on terror. Cant blame him for not wanting to give terrorists an inch. Personally, I would have quadrupled the RCMPs anti terrorism budget, put out a 2 million dollar DorA ransom on each of those FLQ fu%$ers and brought in the MOSSAD / FBI to weed out those Commie terrorist bastards. I wouldnt have touched the WMA nor our sacred Magna Carta rights.
      I guess Trudeau was a quick draw Quebecois...what do you expect dude?
