Extractions: Former Prime Minister of Canada As a former Canadian prime minister, Pierre Elliott Trudeau was a flamboyant and charismatic political giant who led the country through some of the most tumultuous events and passionate politics in the history of Canada. From the Official Languages Act in 1969, to the October Crisis in 1970, the 1980 referendum and the patriation of the Constitution in 1982, Trudeau dominated Canada's political landscape like few others. Pierre Trudeau Biographies - Joseph Philippe Pierre Yves Elliott Trudeau was first elected Canada's prime minister in 1968. He remained in power over the following 16 years until 1979. He wore sandals in the Canada's House of Commons, dated celebrities such as Barbara Streisand, Kim Cattrall, Liona Boyd, and Margot Kidder, occasionally used obscenities to insult his opponents, and one time, Pierre Trudeau did a pirouette behind the back of Queen Elizabeth II. As prime minister, Trudeau patriated the Canadian Constitution from the British Parliament to Canada and incorporated in it the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The influence of Trudeau's policies and actions in Canada is still strong and very evident in Canadian politics today. Pierre Trudeau's status as a political giant in Canadian history is indisputable.

Karsh and his family fled Armenia when he was 15 years old; he ended up in the Canadian capital of Ottawa, where he learned photography and gained access to prominent national and international figures as World War II was beginning.

Many of his portraits were printed in Life magazine, giving Karsh even wider exposure. Among his subjects were

Extractions: The category called "Impact" is what difference the accomplishments made to Canada or the world. WHY is this person a Canadian hero? This question is what will make you decide which hero to investigate. If you cannot come up with an impact statement, then you should probably choose a different person. For instance, Terry Fox's accomplishments were that he attempted to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research. He did this with only one leg, after having lost his other leg to cancer. Examples of the impact of this are that he made Canadians more aware of cancer and the need for research, he inspired many Canadians to think about how lucky they were, and that if he could do it, they could. The impact statement WILL NOT be anywhere on the internet, you must decide for yourself what each person's impact is, based on what their accomplishments are.
