Trudeau was a very charismatic and influential politician that lead Canada during very trying times. Some people loved him, some hated him. But most agree that he had a great influence on Canada. And there was no doubt that he loved this country, its lifestyle, and its roots.

He was involved in bringing in the army to restore order during the FLQ crisis in 1970. He made sure that the universal healthcare system was not undermined or dismantled. He made Canada's federal services officially bilingual, meaning they have to be offered in both French and English. He was successful in helping keep Canada together during the first Quebec referendum. And he repatriated the Canadian constitution in 1982.

In 1974, Trudeau once again won a majority.

The Liberals lost the 1979 election to Joe Clark's Conservatives. Joe Clark led a minority government. Clark's government was inept. Within a few months it was defeated on a vote of non-confidence. In the ensuing election, Trudeau's Liberals won a majority.
