"The Truth About Trudeau"
Review " Very good book, eye opening, he was the worst Prime Minister Canada ever had, it definitely opens up your eyes as to why his son Justin Trudeau is going to be the damnation of Canada, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Trudeau has so many Communist values, he hated the USA and loved dictatorship. It is a must read an eye opener into the values of the Liberal Party."
After Pierre was elected, he was being interviewed in front of the parliament buildings by a CBC reporter who questioned him about the objection of the people to the NEP. He responded "I don't believe the ordinary people should be allowed to influence the decisions of government". Following that statement three of my friends joined me in researching just who this guy was. What we discovered was amazing, except no one believed us..
In 1940 a young Pierre, son of a wealthy Quebec gas station owner began his political activism supporting the Quebec wing of the Marxist movement.
He later changed his allegiance, joining the Quebec wing of the Communist Party. During this time he led a group of like minded Quebecers to a communist conference in Moscow. When questioned by Peter Worthington about his communist activities, he shrugged, suggested it was nothing, and claimed to have thrown a snowball at the statue of Stalin. Worthington pointed out that "Must have been difficult, as there wasn't snow in Moscow all the time you were there".
Trudeau was blacklisted and denied entry to the U.S. based on his Communist activity. He joined the CCF/NDP. They actually believed he would be their candidate and were taken aback when he joined the Liberal Party, reassuring his left wing supporters "The Liberals are only a means to an end".
In 1965 he was elected as a Liberal in the Town of Mount Royale. He was appointed Justice Minister in Pearson's government. In 1968 he was elected PM and during the entire time he was PM, Canada was never privy to any highly classified intelligence.
When he took office in 1968 our national debt was 18 Billion, largely a holdover from the war. 15 1/2 years later, the debt was 200 billion, interest at 25 - 28%, Canadians were losing their homes in record numbers, their businesses going bankrupt. Wage and price controls, and taxed went through the roof.
He declared on CBC his admiration for both China and Cuba and when asked about the millions who had died in their slave labor camps he stated, "Collateral damage is to be expected". He was a pacifist, kicked out of officer's training for behavior unbecoming an officer.
This is the guy who raised this snowflake we currently call a PM.
"The Truth About Trudeau", is a great book by author Bob Plamondon. It's well worth the read.
We desperately need amendments to our constitution. One is recall/impeachment ... that would address the principle "tell them what they want to hear, once you're elected you do what you want", which was Pierre's philosophy.
Sorry for the lengthy narrative, I just wish people would inform themselves of who they are voting for. My husband and I survived the father but it was day to day, he set us back economically at least 10 years. Amazes me another Trudeau as PM.
