What are some facts about Pierre Trudeau?

Asked by Wiki User

Pierre Elliott Trudeau was Canada's 15th prime minister, serving from April 20, 1968 to June 4, 1979, and again from March 3, 1980 to June 30, 1984. Trudeau was defeated by Conservative Joe Clark in the 1979 election and served as Leader of the Official Opposition from June 4, 1979 to March 2, 1980.

Trudeau was in power during the FLQ crisis of October, 1970, during which British Trade Consul James Cross was kidnapped and Quebec Labour Minister Pierre Laporte was murdered. Trudeau panicked, fearing there was some unknown, underground, widespread military conspiracy, and that he might be next on a fictitional "hit list." Although the perpetrators were actually a small rag-tag group that he ultimately allowed to flee the country, Trudeau invoked the War Measures Act, destroing the country's civil rights in the process.

He was a controversial figure who managed to alienate significant parts of the country, and once uttered "F*ck off!" to an opposition member in the House of Commons. He later claimed that he had only said "Fuddle Duddle."

While in office, Trudeau surprised the entire country by marrying someone described as a "young playgirl." She was thirty years his junior. They had three children, but the marriage did not last. It was widely rumoured that his wife smoked pot in the Prime Minister's Official Residence. In 1991, he fathered another child out of wedlock.

Trudeau is best known for saying that the state has no business in the bedrooms of the nation. His most significant achievement was enshrining the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in Canada's constitution.

Who was involved in the Cold War?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Cold War was primarily between the USSR and the USA/NATO.

The term was coined as there was no war declared but both sides used their influence to try to support their own ideologies around the globe.

The influence of the Cold War can still be seen today and almost every conflict since WWII was at least partly due to conflicting interests of the Cold War adversaries.

What age do you have to be to start work as a vet?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In the United States there is no legally required minimum, but the practical cut-off is 24. This is because the youngest most people can graduate from high school is 17, then three years of undergraduate, then four years of vet school.
There really isn't an age limit, but a suitable amount of time is needed for education and gaining experience. Many people start off becoming veterinarian assistants or obtaining volunteer work before pursuing the field full time.
