The Young Trudeau – Son of Quebec, Father of Canada
By authors Max and Monique Nemni
First published in French in 2006 by Les Editions de L’Homme, translated by William Johnson and published by McClelland & Stewart Ltd.
The authors were friends of Trudeau and are professional historians. They approached the former Prime Minister to ask him if they might write his biography. He agreed and surprisingly turned all his private files over to them covering the years 1917 when he was born to 1944 when he was almost 27 and WWII was raging in Europe and across the world. They were shocked at what they found.
Like most Canadians who have any knowledge of our former Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Tudeau, the authors had thought of him as a brilliant intellectual. He exuded a charismatic quality that infected the masses from the moment he took office. The public and the authors saw him as a rebel against the status quo. Mr. & Mrs. Nemni discovered that far from being a rebel he was a model student that went along with whatever he was taught at the his Roman Catholic Brebeuf elementary and high schools as well as at the Roman Catholic Jesuit controlled University of Montreal.
How he became the Prime Minister of Canada is a mystery. Many cooler heads knew that he had been an anti-war activist and draft dodger during the WWII; the war to save civilization from the multiple nightmares of the Nazi European conquest and mass genocide. Trudeau’s personal papers revealed that:
- Trudeau was a vociferous Anti-Semite, and hated Jews
- Trudeau was a Nazi and Fascist supporter
- Trudeau supported the pro-Nazi Petain Vichy government.
- Trudeau was an admirer of any dictatorship, loathed parliamentary democracies and wished for a Nazi and Fascist victory.
- Trudeau thought that reports of Nazi atrocities against the Jews and others were mere British and allied propaganda.
