It’s not often that I’ll come to the defense of Prime minister Trudeau, but in this case, I think our perspective is a bit skewed. The 60’s were a remarkably different time. News travelled slowly, and our perspectives of people (and events for that matter) were seen differently as the decades moved forward.
Mr. Trudeau, by all accounts, led a very sheltered life. And his mournings are of a man as seen through his father’s eyes. A family friend. Right or wrong, this is how he feels and he should be allowed wholeheartedly to express those feelings without being vilified.
