Justin Trudeau
☼ Born on 25 December 1971, in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
BiographyJustin Trudeau is a Canadian politician. He was born on December 25, 1971, the son of the then-Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau and Margaret Trudeau (née Sinclair). Educated at McGill University and the University of British Columbia, he worked as a teacher before going into politics. He was elected to the Canadian Parliament as a Liberal Party candidate in the 2008 federal election, representing the Papineau riding (located in Montreal), and was re-elected in 2011. In 2013, he was elected the leader of the Liberal Party.
In the run up to the 2015 Canadian federal election, Justin Trudeau was subject to a long running negative campaign by the Conservative Party that painted him as a intellectual lightweight pretty boy who had no business in politics. However, that campaign backfired by lowering the public expectations of him until he was able to easily impress the public with his passionate and articulate intelligence and charisma with his first televised election debate. With an appealing left wing campaign platform that stole a march from the rival New Democratic Party, Trudeau was able to win a majority government for his party, a very rare Canadian feat for a third place party to leap to first place to form a government.
