Pierre Trudeau
A country, after all, is not something you build as the pharaohs built the pyramids, and then leave standing there to defy eternity. A country is something that is built every day out of certain basic shared values.
Pierre Trudeau

Pierre Trudeau
I've always lived in a democratic society.
Pierre Trudeau
We are in the extreme centre, the radical middle. That is our position.
Pierre Trudeau
The next time you see Jesus Christ, ask Him what happened to the just society He promised 2,000 years ago.
