In economic policy his goal was to use the riches of Alberta oil to fund national programs, despite the vehement objections of the Albertans. His National Energy Program caused a bitter dispute over the nationalization of oil companies, to increase Canadian control and generate federal revenues from the energy sector. Petro Canada was founded as a [[Crown Corporation]], although the Canadian government has since sold its stake in the company.

Trudeau retired from politics on June 30th, 1984 and was succeeded by [[John Turner]]. Trudeau remained active in Law until late in his life and passed away on September 28, 2000 at the age of 80. Trudeau is remembered well in Canada, following his death the highest peak was to be named after him although this was later withdrawn at the protest of Canadian Geographic society. Trudeau was often cited for poor administrative and economic practices, as well as personal arrogance, and not having an understanding of Canada outside Quebec. Trudeau did lead Canada through a time of growth and by the end of his terms Canada was a very different place.

After three children were born they separated in 1977 and were finally divorced in 1980.

Liberals in Canada still fondly remember Trudeau as a dashing hero. Conservatives his poor administrative practices, bad economic policies, as well as personal arrogance, and disregard of the needs of the west. They admire him for standing up to the Quebec separatists and keeping Canada united.
