From the National Post, Montreal Gazette, and Ottawa Citizen comes this loving, poignant, and spectacular tribute to Canada’s premier politician, Pierre Elliott Trudeau. When on September 28, 2000, at the age of 80, Trudeau passed away, Canadians said goodbye to the sole figure who had dominated their hearts, minds, and imaginations, for forty years. Hailed as Canada’s "spirit of the age", Trudeau had become a calendar for the largest generation ever to pass through Canadian society. He was a Canadian institution, a face as familiar as any Canadian landscape. As Roy Macgregor writes, he was "much like his own country" with his expansiveness, diversity, charm, and wit.
