Introduction Pierre Elliott Trudeau was the Prime Minister of Canada from 1968 to 1979 and again from 1980 to 1984. During that time, he had profound impact on the entire Canadian country and he became one of the most important political figures in Canadian history. Through his political actions, as well as through his personality, he aroused a great deal of emotions, both positive and negative, among the Canadian public, and this made him a very memorable figure. He also introduced important political initiatives, which strongly influenced many aspects of Canadian political and private life. His significance is still recognized by Canadians at present, which is illustrated by the fact that in 2004, he was chosen as the third greatest Canadian of all times (CBC Digital Archives). The aim of this thesis is to explore what made him such an important political figure and discuss the influence he had on Canada. The first area I will explore is Trudeau‟s personality. For a Canadian politician, Trudeau‟s character was highly unusual and it helped him achieve great popularity very early in his career. He attracted a great deal of attention of the media and received great support of the public. He led many young people to become interested in politics, which also had impact on Canada. His immense popularity was something Canada had never seen before and the public interest in politics was one of the areas Trudeau had a significant impact on. Secondly, I will discuss Trudeau‟s influence on the relationship between the province of Quebec and the rest of the Canadian federation. This relationship had always been a complicated issue and during Trudeau‟s time in office, it became the area of domestic politics which he had the most profound impact on. He had to deal with growing Quebec nationalism as well as with the threat of terrorism. He championed the cause for Canadian unity and greatly contributed to the fact that Canada withstood the 5 attempts, both democratic and terrorist, at Quebec‟s separation from the rest of the federation. Lastly, I will discuss Trudeau‟s effect on Canadian external relations. Trudeau introduced an unconventional approach, which led to a reassessment of Canadian foreign policies and a change in Canada‟s position in the world. He was a very cosmopolitan figure, with deep knowledge of the world, which made him very respectable among world leaders and it influenced Canada‟s image in international politics. Trudeau also launched several important international initiatives and under his government, Canada often took a leading role in dealing with important international issues. All of these aspects will illustrate what significant impact Trudeau had in the sphere of international politics. To support my arguments, I will draw on a variety of sources. Among them, there will be a number of books about Trudeau‟s time in office, including several anthologies of essays focusing on specific issues of his tenure, as well as books that study Canadian politics in general. In order to discuss Trudeau‟s own views on politics, I will also use a collection of his own essays. To illustrate certain important events of Trudeau‟s career, I will use news reports of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Another important source of information will be Trudeau‟s television memoirs, where his entire career is mapped. Lastly, I will use several essays from an internet database, which will provide additional perspective on some of the issues discussed. 6 2. Trudeau’s Personality and Public Image Trudeau‟s great popularity and the fact that he is such an interesting figure in Canadian politics, are largely due to his personality and image. He was a very unusual politician with remarkable personal characteristics and his public image created an unprecedented wave of popularity among Canadian public. In this chapter, I will discuss the characteristics which helped him achieve that popularity. I will also focus on two events from the beginning of his career which contributed to his popular image. Then, I will discuss what is known as Trudeaumania – the extraordinary excitement around Trudeau from the time when he was entering the top levels of politics. I will conclude with the problematic issues around his behaviour and the more questionable aspects of his personality. All of these points will illustrate what a remarkable figure Trudeau was and how this made him into one of the most memorable politicians in the Canadian history. They will also show what significant influence he had on Canadian public. 2.1. Trudeau’s Public Appeal The aspects of Trudeau‟s personality that helped him the most to become popular among Canadians were the ones that made him stand out from most other politicians. He was very energetic and determined as well as courageous and tough in dealing with difficult issues. At the beginning of his career, he was also quite young and tended to make a lot of jokes, which helped his image among young Canadians who saw him as a representation of a new generation in politics (Mulhallen 98). These traits, combined with his charisma, made Trudeau an extraordinary character in Canadian politics, which can be seen in the words of Michel Vastel, 7 The country had finally found its Kennedy: a man with a brilliant mind, often surrounded by pretty women, with an athletic air even though he was on the verge of turning fifty. A very different man from the unfathomable Mackenzie King, the plodding Louis St. Laurent, the cantankerous John Diefenbaker, or the austere Lester Pearson. (1-2) This shows that Trudeau was perceived as a bringer of fresh air to Canadians who were ready for a change from what Stuebing, Marshall and Oakes described as “stodgy, careful, middle-of-the-road” politicians of Canada‟s past (3). Trudeau also became popular thanks to his unusual views on politics. These were very unorthodox, and as such, they also supported the notion that Trudeau was bringing new style to Canadian politics (Bothwell, Drummond and English 421). Trudeau himself commented on his political views in this way, The only constant factor to be found in my thinking over the years has been opposition to accepted opinions. Had I applied this principle to the stock market, I might have made a fortune. I chose to apply it to politics, and it led me to power – a result I had not really desired, or even expected. (xix) This shows Trudeau‟s opposition to established ideas, which is something that can also be seen in one of the topics Trudeau felt very strongly about – the issue of nationalism in Quebec. Trudeau himself came from Quebec and spoke French fluently, but he was strongly opposed to French nationalism and any form of special status for that province (Vastel 122). This also greatly contributed to Trudeau‟s public appeal, since he was seen as someone who could effectively deal with the problematic situation in that province (Bothwell, Drummond and English 363). 8 2.2. Events Which Influenced Trudeau’s Popularity Before Trudeau was elected Prime Minister, two events occurred which significantly improved his public image and showcased his daring personality. The first one was Trudeau‟s introduction of the Criminal Law Amendment Act in 1967. As described by Lorraine Weinrib, it restricted the ownership of firearms, legalized therapeutic abortion and decriminalized most sexual practices, mainly homosexuality, which were all “forbidden” issues most politicians did not want to deal with (264). Trudeau, however, felt the need to modernize these laws and famously defended this act by saying, “There‟s no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation” (CBC Digital Archives). Christina McCall and Stephen Clarkson commented on Trudeau‟s famous sentence, Delivered by a minister of the Crown wearing a leather coat and sporting a Caesar haircut, it had an electrifying effect on the public imagination. It expressed a widely felt need to bring Canada up to date in a way that everybody could understand. Here was a man who was willing to declare himself in opposition to the established order. (107) This account shows the significant impact the reform had on Trudeau‟s public image and how much it helped him in the later elections.

This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This dissertation is about influence which is defined as the ability to move ideas forward within, and in some cases across, organizations. More specifically it is about an extraordinary organization called the Club of Rome (COR), who became advocates of the idea of greater use of systems analysis in the development of policy. The systems approach to policy required rational, holistic and long-range thinking. It was an approach that attracted the attention of Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. Commonality of interests and concerns united the disparate members of the COR and allowed that organization to develop an influential presence within Canada during Trudeau’s time in office from 1968 to 1984. The story of the COR in Canada is extended beyond the end of the Trudeau era to explain how the key elements that had allowed the organization and its Canadian Association (CACOR) to develop an influential presence quickly dissipated in the post- 1984 era. The key reasons for decline were time and circumstance as the COR/CACOR membership aged, contacts were lost, and there was a political paradigm shift that was antithetical to COR/CACOR ideas.

  • A Tapestry of Peoples
    HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL TEACHING RESOURCE FOR THE PROMISE OF CANADA, BY CHARLOTTE GRAY Author’s Note Greetings, educators! While I was in my twenties I spent a year teaching in a high school in England; it was the hardest job I’ve ever done. So first, I want to thank you for doing one of the most important and challenging jobs in our society. And I particularly want to thank you for introducing your students to Canadian history, as they embark on their own futures, because it will help them understand how our past is what makes this country unique. When I sat down to write The Promise of Canada, I knew I wanted to engage my readers in the personalities and dramas of the past 150 years. Most of us find it much easier to learn about ideas and values through the stories of the individuals that promoted them. Most of us enjoy history more if we are given the tools to understand what it was like back then—back when women didn’t have the vote, or back when Indigenous children were dragged off to residential schools, or back when Quebecers felt so excluded that some of them wanted their own independent country. I wanted my readers to feel the texture of history—the sounds, sights and smells of our predecessors’ lives. If your students have looked at my book, I hope they will begin to understand how the past is not dead: it has shaped the Canada we live in today. I hope they will be excited to meet vivid personalities who, in their own day, contributed to a country that has never stopped evolving.

  • Canada Day As Part of a Political Master Brand
    Celebrating the True North: Canada Day as part of a political master brand Justin Prno Thesis submitted to the University of Ottawa in partial Fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Arts Department of Communication Faculty of Arts University of Ottawa © Justin Prno, Ottawa, Canada, 2019 CELEBRATING THE TRUE NORTH ii Abstract In Canada, the rise of political branding coincided with the adoption of the permanent campaign, creating an environment in which politicking is now normalized and politicization is expected. With Canada Day 2017 as a case study, this thesis adopts Marland’s Branding Lens Thesis (2016) as a conceptual framework to analyze if a national holiday became part of the Liberal Party of Canada’s master brand. The key conclusion of this thesis is that the Liberals integrated their ‘master brand’ into Canada Day 2017 by integrating political branding into their government communications. This thesis also shows that Justin Trudeau played a bigger role during Canada Day than expected by a Prime Minister. Significantly, this thesis shows the Liberal government altered the themes and messaging of Canada 150 to parallel that of their master brand, applying a Liberal tint to Canada Day and Canada 150. CELEBRATING THE TRUE NORTH iii Acknowledgements I’ve been known to talk a lot, but when it comes to the written word, I often come up short. Either way here goes... I would like to thank the community of people that surround me, near and far, past and present. Having you as part of my life makes taking these trips around the sun far more enjoyable.

  • Parliamentary Language Canada[Edit]
    Parliamentary Language Parliaments and legislative bodies around the world impose certain rules and standards during debates. Tradition has evolved that there are words or phrases that are deemed inappropriate for use in the legislature whilst it is in session. In a Westminster system, this is called unparliamentary language and there are similar rules in other kinds of legislative system. This includes, but is not limited to the suggestion of dishonesty or the use of profanity. The most prohibited case is any suggestion that another member is dishonourable. So, for example, suggesting that another member is lying is forbidden.[1] Exactly what constitutes unparliamentary language is generally left to the discretion of the Speaker of the House. Part of the speaker's job is to enforce the assembly's debating rules, one of which is that members may not use "unparliamentary" language. That is, their words must not offend the dignity of the assembly. In addition, legislators in some places are protected from prosecution and civil actions by parliamentary immunitywhich generally stipulates that they cannot be sued or otherwise prosecuted for anything spoken in the legislature. Consequently they are expected to avoid using words or phrases that might be seen as abusing that immunity. Like other rules that have changed with the times, speakers' rulings on unparliamentary language reflect the tastes of the period. Canada[edit] These are some of the words and phrases that speakers through the years have ruled "unparliamentary" in the Parliament

Radical social movements and countercultures challenged the conservatism of the preceding decade, rejected traditional forms of politics, and demanded an alternative based on the principles of social justice, individual freedom and an end to oppression on all fronts. Yet in Canada a unique political movement emerged which embraced these principles but proposed that New Left social movements – the student and anti-war movements, the women’s liberation movement and Canadian nationalists – could bring about radical political change not only through street protests and sit-ins, but also through participation in electoral politics.
