The Return of Pierre Trudeau, "This is the single most difficult decision I've ever made", 1979

[@MichaelBrookham]

According to his memoirs, which I have a copy of, the Liberals had to plead with Trudeau to lead them again. He was dead set on not coming back and pretty much had enough of it. Up until the 17th of December, he had decided against a comeback, but changed his mind abruptly the next day. So, according to his memoirs, they were not rumors. He really wasn't planning on coming back.

[@TimJSwan]

Back when the news would speak the truth when they dared to open their mouths.

[@malcolmt9917]

I don’t like either Trudeau’s, but this is pretty cool. A lot of politicians really only think of their own interests, but this guy knew his party needed him and decided to run. Admirable.

[@gottahurtthealbertosaurus]

Looking at pictures of him, I always thought he spoke in a somewhat noticeable French Canadian Accent, but no, he speaks in a deep English Canadian Accent which sounds mildly Southern US-Ish

I dont hate Pierre Elliot, In fact i like him more than his son.

[@ElricWilliam]

I wish Pierre was back with us. His son is a joke

[@hungryghost3260]

Me too. Pierre didn't pretend to feel anything. No affectations there. What he showed was what he felt. 🙂

Thank you for Constitution Act 1982, the charter of rights; and repatriation of our constitution.

@TheWolfsan- Yeah, he couldn't cure your racism.

[@raynus1160]

No thanks.

[@dominicdurzo8995]

Again, he was a decent politician but over rated. He was even deemed an international statesman because he danced abroad

[@hungryghost3260]

Pierre Trudeau mockingly danced a pirouette behind Queen Elizabeth in order to highlight the absurdity of the Queen's table being higher than the tables of the elected Prime Ministers of the Commonwealth nations. His point: elected leaders are not secondary to hereditary monarchs. Is that the dance you're referring to?

[@codprocamp4690]

Is that a middle aged Rex Murphy at 3:25? I love his old man rants which are becoming more incoherent as years go by, but if that his him he was totally an amazing journalist at some point.

[@chriswilson8584]

Never mind. If I had waited two seconds it is someone else.

Only an ignoramus could proclaim Rex Murphy to be incoherent; just about as hilarious as the BLM band wagoner rabble who claimed he was intellectually lazy. LOL, the intellectually dishonest leftards these days!

[@kevinmichaeljoy8074]
