He gained renown for his work in the field of civil liberties when Quebec was ruled, 1944-1959, by the  authoritarian [[Duplessis]] regime. He helped the provincial Liberals win in Quebec in 1960, but then turned away from their growing separatism. However, Trudeau turned from the Quebec Liberals, who sought to emphasize Quebec's French character. Trudeau was always a strong advocate of the Canadian federal system, and repeatedly opposed all efforts to strengthen the provinces at the expense of the national government in Ottawa. He also opposed nuclear warheads for Canada and campaigned in the 1963 federal election for the New Democrats, a moderate socialist party, against the Liberals.  Meanwhile the "[[Quiet Revolution]]" was transforming and modernizing Quebec, bringing democracy, secularism, and a determination that Quebec should be feed from the long-time control of English-speaking businessmen.
