Reading this brings back a virtual lifetime of memories for me. I was 20 when PET was elected Prime Minister in 1968. My mother pointed out to me that she and I were the same age differential as Pierre and Margaret. Yup. Pierre, born in 1919, and Maggie, 1948. When they married, Pierre was 52 and Margaret 23. Nearly 30 years age difference! What could go wrong?

I think this topic - the feminist Margaret and son Justin Trudeau - would be a good subject for a book by Janice Fiamengo. Justin and his mother's crazy twisted feminist philosophy have had a significant impact on Canadian society since the 70s.
