Abstract:

"From the moment of his election in 1968 until his retirement in 1984, Pierre Elliot Trudeau dominated Canadian politics and shaped our institutions. In many ways - through his comments on the Meech Lake and Charlottetown accords, for example - he has continued to wield extraordinary influence."
