Synopsis;
Joseph Philippe Pierre Yves Elliott Trudeau; October 18, 1919–September 28, 2000), often referred to by the initials PET, was a Canadian statesman who served as the 15th
Prime Minister of Canada (1968–1979 and 1980–1984).
He is the third longest-serving Prime Minister in Canadian history (behind William Lyon Mackenzie King and John A. Macdonald), having served for 15 years, 164 days.
Trudeau rose to prominence as a lawyer, intellectual, and activist in Quebec politics.
In the 1960s he entered federal politics by joining the Liberal Party of Canada.
He was appointed as Lester B. Pearson's Parliamentary Secretary and later became his Minister of Justice.
Trudeau became a media sensation, inspiring "Trudeaumania", and took charge of the Liberals in 1968.
From the late 1960s until the mid-1980s, his personality dominated the political scene to an extent never before seen in Canadian political life.
Despite his personal motto, "Reason before passion", his personality and political career aroused polarizing reactions throughout Canada.
Admirers praise what they consider to be the force of Trudeau's intellect and his political acumen, maintaining national unity over the Quebec sovereignty movement, suppressing
a Quebec terrorist crisis, fostering a pan-Canadian identity, and in achieving sweeping institutional reform, including the implementation of official bilingualism, patriation of the Constitution,
and the establishment of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Critics accuse him of arrogance, of economic mismanagement, and of unduly centralizing Canadian decision-making to the detriment of the culture of Quebec and the economy of the Prairies.
He retired from politics in 1984, and John Turner succeeded him.
His eldest son, Justin Trudeau, became the 23rd and current Prime Minister as a result of the 2015 federal election and is the first prime minister of Canada to be related to a former prime minister.
There are some imperfections to the surface of the photo, (see scan supplied), but overall is in excellent condition.
