To bad the World leaders of today do not have the intellect of Trudeau.

[djat2]

One of the qualities of his intellect was comprehensiveness, evident in his bilingualism policies, which give a solution to linguistic tensions involving the entire country, and not just single provinces. Also his addition to the constitution of a charter expressing Canada's universal values. Comprehensiveness too in his foreign policy, where his willingness to engage positively the Soviets and China helped diminish some of the dangerous and hysterical possibilities of the Cold War.

Trudeau was a Leafs fan.

There will never be a leader with the strength and honesty as Pierre Elliot Trudeau, a rare breed.
