Trudeaumania

Pierre Trudeau, Canada's charismatic Prime Minister from 1968 to 1979, and again from 1980 to 1984, was known for his dynamic personality and groundbreaking policies. Elected at 48, Trudeau focused on creating a "Just Society," promoting multiculturalism, and protecting rights. His legacy includes the Official Languages Act and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which he enacted when he repatriated Canada's constitution in 1982. A single father during his time in office, he also famously challenged opponents and fought to keep Quebec part of Canada during the 1980 referendum.
