Pierre Trudeau

Pierre Trudeau
I believe in God, and I'm a Christian.
Pierre Trudeau
The state has no business in the bedrooms of the nation.
Pierre Trudeau
The past is to be respected and acknowledged, but not to be worshipped. It is our future in which we will find our greatness.
Pierre Trudeau
We don't think every man should be free to pass on everything to his descendants.
Pierre Trudeau
I've always lived in a democratic society.
Pierre Trudeau
Canada will be a strong country when Canadians of all provinces feel at home in all parts of the country, and when they feel that all Canada belongs to them.
