Pierre Elliott-Trudeau, né Joseph Philippe Pierre Yves Elliotte Trudeau le 18 octobre 1919 à Outremont (Québec) et décédé le 28 septembre 2000 à Montréal (Québec), est un homme politique canadien. Il exerça les fonctions de premier ministre du Canada à deux reprises : du 20 avril 1968 au 3 juin 1979, puis du 3 mars 1980 au 30 juin 1984 (à ce titre, il bénéficiait du titre honorifique de très honorable).
Il influença fortement la politique canadienne par diverses interventions. Son caractère flamboyant et intellectuel servit à rehausser la visibilité du Canada sur la scène mondiale. Sous Trudeau, le Canada établit des relations avec la Chine communiste en 1970. En tant que ministre de la Justice sous Lester Pearson, il mit de l'avant le Bill omnibus qui légalisa le divorce, décriminalisa l'avortement et l'homosexualité, considérant que « l'État n'a rien à faire dans les chambres à coucher de la nation».
Joseph Philippe Pierre Yves Elliott Trudeau, PC CH CC QC FSRC (October 18, 1919 – September 28, 2000), usually known as Pierre Trudeau or Pierre Elliott Trudeau, was the 15th Prime Minister of Canada from April 20, 1968 to June 4, 1979, and again from March 3, 1980 to June 30, 1984.
Trudeau began his political career campaigning for socialist ideals, but he eventually joined the Liberal Party of Canada when he entered federal politics in the 1960s. He was appointed as Lester Pearson's Parliamentary Secretary, and later became his Minister of Justice. From his base in Montreal, Trudeau took control of the Liberal Party and became a charismatic leader, inspiring "Trudeaumania". From the late 1960s until the mid-1980s, he dominated the Canadian political scene and aroused passionate reactions. "Reason before passion" was his personal motto. He retired from politics in 1984, and John Turner succeeded him as Prime Minister.
Admirers praise the force of Trudeau's intellect and salute his political acumen in preserving national unity against Quebec separatists, suppressing a violent revolt, and establishing the Charter of Rights and Freedoms within Canada's constitution. Critics accuse him of arrogance, economic mismanagement, and unduly favouring the federal government relative to the provinces, especially in trying to control the oil wealth of the Prairies.
