Does opposition to Nazism define a politician? Maybe. Ironically, the minister’s boss PM Justin Trudeau had a dad himself that didn’t find opposition to Nazi Germany as being very inspiring. The young millionaire stayed at home in Montreal during WWII - going to school at Laval University. Tens of thousands of Canadians joined up in the military during those years – from rich to poor. But not Pierre Trudeau. Things were ‘too comfortable” at home.
