Famous Since Birth

Most former Canadian prime ministers quietly head off into the sunset with a reasonable degree of privacy afforded to them. However, Justin Trudeau is no ordinary former prime minister. The son of the late Pierre Trudeau, who was already developing a certain mystique as prime minister and who happened to be married to Margaret Sinclair, 29 years his junior, Justin was thrust into the public spotlight on the day he was born, Christmas Day 1971.
