(remarks at the Ukrainian-Canadian Congress, October 9, 1971)

"What the world should be seeking, and what in Canada we must continue to cherish, are not concepts of uniformity but human values: compassion, love, and understanding."

50 ans plus tard, le monde est loin des promesses d'Helsinki

Le 1er août 1975, 35 pays s’entendaient pour apaiser les flammes de la guerre froide.

I do too. I still point out his house to my sons every time I drive by it. I had had the pleasure of meeting him right outside his front door in the late 90s when my team and I painted the white "stop" line on the asphalt in front of his residence. The building is still there, having been declared a protected heritage site by the government

One thing I admired about #PierreElliottTrudeau was his great ability to push back on BS & stand-up to provincial & federal crap. The great failing of our current govt is its inability or unwillingness to rock the boat. We need a strong voice in our government advocating, fighting, standing up for Cdns & their rights. Provincial #Con premiers are destabilizing our democracy, being derelict in their duty to citizens and making a mockery of our charter while lining their pockets #EnoughIsEnough.

#PrimeMinister #JustinTrudeau has confirmed that former federal #Liberal minister #MarcLalonde has died at age 93.

Lalonde was the principal secretary to former prime minister #PierreElliottTrudeau from 1968 to 1972.
Trudeau said in a tweet on Sunday evening that Lalonde “was brilliant” and that his death represents an “enormous loss” to #Canada.
