It wasn't aimed to force-assimilate them into Canadian society, but instead to treat all Canadian citizens (i.e. both native and non-native) the same under the law. Many argued that would result in the loss of their cultures and the government didn't even consult with major First Nations tribes so it was not well handled by the government and ticked a lot of people off.

    I grew up in the 1970s and early 80s. I was 17 years old when Trudeau resigned as Prime Minister (for the second and final time), and he was the only Prime Minister (other than Joe Clark) that I knew of. I remember well the 1980 election. I was 14 at the time, and it's the first election where I paid attention to the issues. It was one of Canada's only Winter elections (traditionally we only hold elections in the Spring or Fall). As you correctly stated, it was triggered by the Clark Government's failure to pass their budget. They had a minority government, and could have had their budget passed if they had obtained the support of the small right-wing Créditiste party from Québec, but for some reason they failed. The budget was unpopular in Ontario because it meant that people who heat their homes with oil would have had to pay more. You have to understand that this was during the 1970s oil crisis, and oil prices in Canada had been kept artificially low, and most Canadian oil comes from Alberta, which is where Joe Clark came from and which was the stronghold of the Progressive-Conservative Party. So in the budget I think they lifted price controls on oil, which made Joe Clark's political base in Alberta happy, but he forgot that Ontario and Quebec have far more votes than does Alberta, and that at the time most people still heated with oil, and that the election was taking place in the winter. So the PCs basically lost that election because people were angry at the prospect of their winter heating bills going up.

I had finished university and was working when Pierre, still PM, walked right through the Canadian Constitution and invoked the National Energy Program. I saw friends lose their jobs and their homes. Pierre did a lot to divide Canada and both the First Nations and Western Canada were treated with disdain. Many considered him to be a horrible Prime Minister, that was until his son Justin became PM and easily took over that title.

      @cablemanization that seems to be the same bullshit comment every socialist and commie sympathizer loves throwing out when their idols are described precisely as they are. I know exactly what a socialist is, it is you who is mistaken as to what it is, and PET explicitly stated on many occasions he would turn this country into a purely socialist society if he had the power to do so, one in which the government controls everything. He and his son attempted to skirt democratic processes and give the federal government much more power during their tenures, which isn't up for debate. He loved fraternizing with communist dictators as well and once proclaimed himself a communist in front of a group of ambassadors while traveling in the USSR. Trudeau Jr wrote a glowing eulogy for Fidel Castro, a mass murderer, on the PMO website, calling him one of the greatest leaders of all time and saying he served his people for 60 years. Yes he served them all right, as a dictator whose power was absolute and could not be contested. Anyone who did so was thrown in jail or killed while the majority of Cubans are thin as rakes from hunger, which I have seen firsthand.

They both want the government to control the means of production, which will always result in dictatorship and power being dispersed among very few. Listen it isn't my fault you have been severely brainwashed since birth and aren't smart enough to overcome this. PET was educated at the London School of Economics, an institution founded by an EXPLICITLY SOCIALIST ORGANIZATION, the Fabian Society, which is cited as an immense influence on the Labour Party by its own members (another supposedly non-socialist entity I guess in your opinion).

He divorced her after he was done being prime minister because their marriage broke apart, she was forced to raise 2 children on her own effectively while in her 20s, he was busy governing in the middle of Canada's biggest constitutional crisis. Its understandable why she got bipolar disorder.

But he was a titan, an intellectual wildly superior to his son in every way, a statesman even, and the title is right. He had a vision, and he set things in motion never to be resolved. He felt that he had to destroy the nationalism of French Canada, to do that he had to destroy what was left of the nationalism of English Canada, and although I think he had a sort of new Canadian nationalism in mind, it didn't quite entirely work that way.

    The Statute of Westminster (1931) was a sort of Schrödinger's Cat of Independence. Under the terms of the statute, the British Parliament could not legislate for Canada without the assent of the Canadian government. That is, no act of the British Parliament applied to Canada unless Canada agreed to it. At the same time, if Canada requested to change its Constitutional arrangement vis a vis the UK, the British Parliament was obliged to put any requested changes up for a vote. This is known as the "Request and Assent" provisions.
    As a consequence of Request provision, Canadian criminal cases could no longer be appealed to British courts starting in 1935 after the Canadian government proposed this change. The Supreme Court of Canada became the highest court of appeal in Canada in criminal cases. Under the Assent provision, the British declaration of war on Germany in 1939 did not apply to Canada. The government of Canada supported war with Germany, however, and waited one week to make its own separate declaration. The Request and Assent provisions were applied several times in later years.
    The 1982 Constitution Act ended this practice, which had long become a nuisance of formality. Pierre Trudeau sought the approval of all provinces in doing this, even if legally he did not need to. His idea was that such a big change was similar to the founding of the Dominion in 1867. Only Quebec failed to sign on. The Constitutional amendment formula propose, and adopted, require 2/3rds of the provinces representing at least 50% of the population to agree. This was achieved. Adding the Charter of Rights and Freedoms at the same time was the real change of that year, and it was Pierre Trudeau's greatest accomplishment that ripples on to today.

    but then Trudeau quietly decoupled this arrangement .
    The Provinces now pay about 80% of the health care costs in Canada .
