Born October 18, 1919 in Montreal Died: September 28, 2000. Montreal Canadian politician. Studied law at the University of Montreal, political science and economics at Harvard, Paris and the London School of Economics. From 1951 to 1961, he worked as a lawyer in Montreal while also engaging in political activities. He co-founded and edited the newspaper Cité Libre, and was a driving force behind Quebec's Quiet Revolution in the 1960s. From 1961 to 1965, he was an associate professor at the University of Montreal, lecturing on the constitution and civil liberties. In 1965, he entered politics as a Liberal member of the House of Commons, and in 1967, he became Minister of Justice to L. Pearson. In 1968, he became leader of the Liberal Party and Prime Minister. Although he lost power to the Progressive Conservative Party in 1979, he returned to power the following year in 1980 and remained in power for a total of 16 years until his retirement from politics in 1984. During this time, he fought against separatism and tried to realize a strong federal government in a dramatic situation, such as the enactment of the Official Languages Act in 1969, the October Crisis in 1970 (the implementation of the Emergency Act in response to the kidnapping and murder of the Minister of Justice by the Quebec Liberation Front), the Quebec Referendum in 1980, and the transfer of the Constitution in 1982. His achievements can be said to be the highlight of 20th century Canada, but he was also criticized for the deterioration of relations with the United States, the increase in the budget deficit, and the deterioration of federal-provincial relations. Even after his retirement from politics in 1984, he actively spoke out in the constitutional reform debates such as the Meech Lake Constitutional Agreement and the Charlottetown Constitutional Agreement, and influenced the trend of public opinion. His main works are "Federalism and the French Canadians" (1968), "Les Cheminements de la Politique" (70), and "Conversation with Canadians" (72). Trudeau |
