Pierre Trudeau

Description: (15th Prime Minister of Canada)

Pierre Trudeau was one of the iconic leaders of Canada who brought forth a new verve of energy in the country. It was his charismatic personality coupled with revolutionary ideas and beliefs that helped him climb up the ladder to serve the most prestigious and responsible chair of the country. The youth and the teenagers were so throttled by his energetic disposition that they called themselves ‘Trudeaumania’. He was the front runner of politics of his time who promised to bring about a generational change. Thanks to his radical views and opinions, it was under his leadership and guidance that rapid transformations dawned upon the social and the political panorama of the country helping it move forward. Trudeau not only dominated the domestic reforms of the country but its foreign and economic policies as well. While he brought about several changes, two most significant ones include preserving national unity against the Quebec sovereignty movement and commissioning a new Charter of Rights and Freedoms within Canada's constitution. His sharp political acumen earned the respect of one and all in world politics.
