When everything in Canada started to change for Indigenous.
There have been a lot of Conservatives calling out Pierre Elliott Trudeau for his dealings with Indigenous Peoples. I found this letter published in the Windspeaker Publication that sets the record straight. 1/
Dear Editor:
In the wake of the recent passing of Pierre Trudeau, much evaluation has taken place regarding the former prime minister's place and influence in Canadian history. Most of the analysis has revolved around his distinct and colorful personality, his push for.. 2/
bilingualism, his belief in multiculturalism, the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and his dealings with Quebec and the West. In the rush to analyze these important facets of Trudeau's era, little has been said regarding his historic dealings with Canada's Aboriginal peoples. 3/
@Foretoldimages@MisterDoubleJ@ElkeBabiuk@acoyne You mean Chinese decided to donate because of their admiration of PET??
It was under PM PE Trudeau’s leadership that Canada broke from its calcified conventions and came bracingly of age. Pierre Trudeau combined intellectual electricity, star-power charisma,
@Foretoldimages@MisterDoubleJ@ElkeBabiuk@acoyne ....and a contrarian's independent mind. What this blend of characteristics, rare in any leader anywhere, gave rise to was a transformational impact on the culture and character of this country. Trudeau challenged and tore down stereotypes, he unfastened Canada from old men,
@Foretoldimages@MisterDoubleJ@ElkeBabiuk@acoyne ...from old thinking, from narrow traditions, from colonial caution. The highly popular Charter of Rights and Freedom unifies Canada around a set of principles, around civil rights and political rights in the face of overreaching government. It was the work of one man.
