@zenheathen I was part of the #Trudeaumania crowd. I saw and heard #PET speak in St. Laurent. He was a unique leader. His son has proven to be worthy of PET’s legacy. The #PierrePoilievre attacks were orchestrated by #ChairmanHarper, the face of the rise in global fascism, who never accepted the fact that we kicked him to the curb. He left us his toxic influence nonetheless #PostMedia being one of them. And #PP is nothing but his well-trained puppet.

Thinking about the days old #Trudeaumania and if people were not more restrained back then how many big "I want to #FuckTrudeau" banners we would have seen.
@iuculano @the5thColumnist @soc_i_ety I was a teenager during #Trudeaumania. I saw him speak at a mall in Saint Laurent, Montréal, standing on a truck bed. The Québec crowd loved him. There was a special “je ne sais quoi” that emanated from the man. He demanded respect and was greatly admired for his integrity, intelligence & statesmanship.

Here's another video but this one has Trudeau's view on #TrudeauMania.

Pierre Trudeau on Trudeaumania

YouTube

Good Morning #Canada

On this day in 1967 Canadian Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson announces that he is retiring from politics. Unofficially this act launched #TrudeauMania as Pierre Elliit Trudeau steps into broad public awareness. Trudeaumania was the term used throughout 1968 to describe the excitement generated by Trudeau who was mobbed like The Beatles whenever he appeared in public. Here's a quick video of what that was like.

VAULT TRUDEAUMANIA

This is revisionist, separatist propaganda bullshit

«Elected #Liberal MP for #MountRoyal in 1965, he had until then been a left-wing intellectual who was very critical of the party & of its leader #LesterPearson. After a meteoric rise ( #TrudeauMania ), he succeeded him in 1968 as Liberal #PrimeMinister. But earlier in his life, young #Trudeau was an extreme #RightWing #separatist, opposed 2 the ideas that would become his leitmotif as a great #Canadian leader.» #CanPol

Quand P. E. Trudeau était un séparatiste d’extrême droite

Plus tôt dans sa vie, le jeune Trudeau était un séparatiste extrémiste de droite, opposé aux idées qui deviendront son leitmotiv en tant que leader.
