Trudeau mania is back, albeit another kind at this different time. Now it is Justin Trudeau, son of Pierre Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada from 1968-79 and again 1980-84. Pierre was an icon, a real colourful personality and great mind and I venture to say, held the dominion of Canada together through a tumultuous time of the Quebec separatist movement and provincial discord. For us growing up in Sri Lanka, he was a champion of the developing world and I remember in 1971, as a Boy Scout, lining up with Canadian flags to pay tribute to his visit as he passed by our school in Kandy.
