| | Trudeau's personal reasoning on abortion was contradictory and irrational. | | | Trudeau made substantial changes to the Criminal Code and divorce law, liberalizing Canadian regulations on the matters of contraception, divorce, homosexuality, gross indecency and abortion. | | | In brief, Trudeau's philosophy and the foundation of his political actions was based on his great admiration and personal exposure to leftist individuals and movements. |

| | While teaching law at the University of Montreal, Trudeau was invited, along with his former Cité Libre colleague Gerard Pelletier and labour leader Jean Marchand, to run as Liberal candidates in the federal election. | | | Entrusted with reforming the Criminal Code, Trudeau raised some eyebrows when he changed divorce laws and liberalized laws regarding abortion and homosexuality. | | | After he was elected to a minority government once more in 1979, Trudeau announced his resignation from politics, a move that was out of character for a man who believed in ending things with a bang not a whimper. |

| | Trudeau courted it, praised it, flirted with Cuba's Castro and consistently twitted the Americans who were protecting his country from it. | | | Until the day of his death, he declared himself proud of the legislation – a law which, when the courts were finished with it, made Canada virtually the only country with no legal restriction on abortion whatever. | | | He was educated in Catholic schools, was married to a Protestant in a Catholic church, and his three sons were raised as Catholics. |

| | Book review: The Hidden Pierre Elliott Trudeau |
| | As for Trudeau’s views on abortion (legalization in 1969; refusal to place a clause protecting life in the 1981 Charter), they are fully documented, including his remark, 25 years after the event, of being proud having passed the legislation. | | | Trudeau’s womanizing—just like that of American President John Kennedy whom he resembles also in his cynicism about the role of the Church—is only becoming more fully known after his death. | | | In December 1967, as the new Justice Minister, Trudeau informed the House of Commons that as far as he was concerned, in these modern times religious principles have no bearing on the affairs of state. |

| | Much of Trudeau's early appeal as prime minister came from his dashing, flamboyant style. | | | And despite his professed disdain for the parish-pump side of elected politics, he eventually became a frequent and adept practitioner of patronage: his departing 1984 round of appointments to old supporters and cabinet colleagues stoked one of the controversies that helped sink successor John Turner. | | | He knew he'd lose his freedom as prime minister. |
