Trudeau was born October 18, 1919, the son of Charles-Emile Trudeau and Grace Elliot.  He attended the University of Montreal, [[Harvard University]], Université de Paris and the London School of Economics.  He was first elected to the Canadian House of Commons in 1965.  Almost immediately the young and charismatic Trudeau was seen as a [[Liberal_Party_of_Canada|Liberal Party]] star and he was made Justice Minister in 1967.  The following year in what was dubbed "Trudeaumania", he was elected to be leader of the Liberal Party, and thus the Canadian Prime Minister, taking office on April 19 1968.  Being the first Canadian Prime Minister born in the 20th century he was flamboyant and controversial but was also an intellectual.  Trudeau and the Liberals would win another majority government, and landslide in 1968 a vindication for the young leader.
