Justin Trudeau's Leadership Profile

By -



....was born in Ottawa, Canada on 25th December 1971. The first of 3 sons of former Canadian Prime Minister (Pierre Trudeau) and his wife, Margaret. Trudeau was born when his father was in office, and he spent his formative years in 24 Sussex Drive, the Prime Minister’s official residence in Ottawa.

Tho coming from a privileged background, his mother insisted that he attended public school. He even took the bus to school (with a Royal Canadian Mounted Police escort)! His parents separated in 1977, and when their divorce was finalised in 1984, the Trudeau's moved to Montreal. There, Trudeau attended his father’s alma mater, Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf.

Trudeau did well in school and earned a BA in Literature from McGill University and a B.Ed degree from the University of British Columbia. He also studied engineering at Université de Montréal and was a Masters student in Environmental Geography at McGill, but did not complete those programs.

As a young adult, Trudeau tried his hand at various jobs — nightclub bouncer, snowboard instructor, before he settled on teaching as his career.  He gained the attention of the Canadian public in 2000 when he gave a heartfelt eulogy at his father’s state funeral. However, at that time, Trudeau was still resistant to entering politics.

It all changed in 2007 when Trudeau decided to campaign in the district of Papineau for the Liberal Party nomination. He won the nomination with a large majority vote and went on to win the Papineau election the next year. Thereafter, his political career gained traction: between 2008 – 2009, he became a member of parliament of the Official Opposition, he chaired the Liberal Party’s national convention, and he became the party critic for issues like youth, multiculturalism and immigration.
Trudeau’s political ambitions grew, and, following the resignation of Liberal Party leader Michael Ignatieff in 2012,  he campaigned for the position. He won a resounding 80.1% of the vote and secured his position as leader of the party.

In 2015, Trudeau finally sought the highest leadership position in Canada and campaigned for the prime ministership. His campaign was known for its positive and progressive tone; among other things, Trudeau promised to fight climate change, protect abortion rights and cut taxes for the middle class.

His campaign resonated with Canadians and led to the Liberal Party winning a massive increase in seats in the federal election — from 36 to 184 seats. Trudeau was sworn in as the 23rd Prime Minister of Canada on 4th November 2015. At age 43, Trudeau is the second youngest to ever hold the position.
