Justin Trudeau's Mama

She was a bit -- odd, right?

She was bi-polar during those years (and they didn't have a diagnosis for it back in the 1970s) - after the death of her son Michel, she went off the rails and was finally diagnosed.

She was a wild child of the era.

Stunning in her youth, famous on the North Shore of Vancouver for her beauty and a very sweet soul to boot.

One thing that doesn't get mentioned is that Margaret did not receive a dime from Pierre after the divorce. After her second divorce, she had to sell her house at a loss.

Justin Trudeau and his brother Sasha combined their resources to buy her a condo, and then set-up a trust that gives Margaret a monthly allowance, so she doesn't have to worry about money.

Pierre was too old for her.

She was a coked out whore at Shtudio 54!!! TERRIF!!! Loved her!!!!

She looked good with longer hair. Great smile. Very photogenic.

Her three memoirs cover most of her life, the last focuses on her bipolar disorder.

Why is everyone using past tense, she is still alive.

Coool, which book covers the 54 years the most? She really was an odd 70s icon, cover of PEOPLE magazine and all.

[quote]Pierre was too old for her.

Perhaps, but her marriage to Pierre has given her lasting fame & high-profile connections.

Thanks so much, R14! Will go track it down.

The boy in the OP's pic is one of her sons from her 2nd marriage.

Found a Very Good hardcover copy of it for four bucks on ebay, R14. This is why I love DL. I didn't even know this book existed until today. :)

Pierre Trudeau on a data with Barbra in 1970:

I was at a talk she gave about her book about 8 or 9 years ago here in Toronto. She has a wonderful sense of humour and commented about a period of binge drinking, "when Teddy Kennedy thinks you have a drinking problem, you know you're REALLY in bad shape!" She's still quite beautiful and visits people in psych wards all the time. She acknowledged that her children went through hell with her (pre diagnosis) and that even now, if she laughs just a little too long, she'll catch her kids' furtive glances at her, scared that she's going into a manic phase. I adore her.

Margaret Trudeau is just so beloved in Canada (despite her wild antics) because she always spoke the truth. What you saw, is what you got.

Compare that to Mila Mulroney who always seems to have a mask on, which is why Maggie is more beloved by Canadians than Mila.

R21, I don't think many Canadians even remember Mila.

They remember the fact that they didn't like Brian Mulroney, but I don't think his wife made any lasting impact.

Margaret on 2015 Election Night:

Margaret with Justin in 2006:

Review of Margaret's new one-woman's show in Montreal...

"Certain Women of an Age"

Nothing odd about being a slut.

I have a friend in Montreal who knows them both, who once said, "One of the most salient things about their relationship is that they have clearly always been so proud of the other's physical beauty."

I firmly believe that she fornicated with Fidel.

I remember when she was hanging out with the Stones when Keith got busted for heroin in Toronto....Many years later it turned that she had a thing going with Ron Wood--NOT Mick, as everyone thought at the time.

[quote] I firmly believe that she fornicated with Fidel.

Yes. I think Barbara Walters is in that same club.

God, Justin looks so much like Pierre.

[quote] God, Justin looks so much like Pierre.

Conservatives insist Justin looks like Fidel Castro

People with eyes know that Justin looks like Fidel Castro.

Pierre's ex with a fake Fidel.

Margaret Trudeau and Castro were nowhere near each other at the time Justin would've been conceived.

Man she was so much fun. I remember her being on Phil Donahue. She was just wild!

R19: After the divorce, none other than Kim Cattrall dated Pierre.

That photo of her with her pussy hanging out...my God. Definitely a sign of mental illness to go out in public like that.

R32 Justin looks just like his mother, not Pierre. He's like a male version of Margaret.

I always heard she was a bit of a skank. She partied with the Rolling Stones and didn't wear panties.

As I dimly recall there were rumors that she banged Fidel Castro, yes?

Leading to rumors that Castro was the real father of Justin?

I suspect Castro may be the biological father of Justin Bieber too.

Also: Castro is the the father of all of Mia Farrow's children, even the adopted ones.

r37 it's been established that Margaret was in Canada and Castro was in Cube at the time Justin would've been conceived.

R47 But he has a giant pinga.

Justin looks just like a young Pierre.

His being Castro's son is horseshit.

I always thought Liam Newsom looks a bit like Fidel.

Neeson.... wtf auto correct? 😂

She was fucked by all of The Rolling Stones

Studio 54 seemed like a lot of fun.

A lot of people were banging each other in those days. It was swing time.

R47 No it hasn't.

Fidel's penis was pumping away in Margaret's vagina and ovaries, etc.. .

I use to live in Montreal and would sometimes see Pierre T walking on Sherbrooke Street. He had a fantastic Art Deco house on Pine Avenue, overlooking the city.

He must have felt superior overlooking the citizens.

She was a prostitute, literally.

I remember her walking off from a TODAY Show interview when Jane Pauley's questions began to get too personal.

My favourite Margaret Trudeau line: her description of the Prime-Minister's official residence in Ottawa as "the crown jewel of the Canadian penitentiary system".

Pierre looks like he was hung and could throw a mean fuck.

Pierre looks like a pink lemon.

Where's her cooter?? What did she do as a job before marrying Pierre Trudeau?

She graduated with a B.A. in Sociology from Simon Fraser University in 1969, and then "made her way to Morocco and “wandered from one hippie colony to another, experimenting and growing up — or so I imagined.” After she returned to Canada, Trudeau, a longtime bachelor, looked her up for a date while he was out in British Columbia. Based on an offhand comment from him that evening, she moved to Ottawa and took a job as a government sociologist. Neither the capital city nor the work suited her. They married in early 1971, when she was 22 and he was 51.

So would this be the same as the prime minster today marrying Lindsay Lohan?

[quote] He had a fantastic Art Deco house on Pine Avenue, overlooking the city.

Sasha lives in that house now

[quote]So would this be the same as the prime minster today marrying Lindsay Lohan?

No, more like marrying a young Eleanor Mondale. Margaret's father was a prominent Liberal politician.

Maggie was a hippie, not a hooker, kids.

As for Fidel, he's also Gavin Newsom's father. And Pete Buttigieg's. And the father of every politician in the world who upholds the ideals of Western Democracies.

Obviously he's not Putin and the Orange Numbnuts' dad. We know who that is....

Was the cooter shot taken when she was getting a colonoscopy or pelvic exam?

I always got grifter vibes from her. Same with Justin even though I know he was a teacher. His dad was a good guy though.

Maggie was a sociologist from a respected family, R78. Justin was a teacher, now he's a very successful politician. Neither one of them could be called a grifter by any stretch of the imagination. What on earth is wrong with you?

I’ve never heard anything bad about her.

She was a bit of a hippie and she partied hard, just like everybody else back in those days. She was never a grifter she was never a whore. It was a different time.

Didn't she take baby Justin down to Cuba to visit her good friend Castro? That and his face make me think he might be Fidel's

So he grabbed the kid when he was two minutes off the plane? Definitely looks like it's possible it was his and he knew it.

I guess what I mean by grifter is he seems untrustworthy. The kind of person who charms others but has no real substance.

Back when I was in Montreal, I would hear rumours of Pierre being gay.

That's "superficial" R85, it has nothing to do with grifting which is conning people out of their money. I have never found Trudeau to be a superficial person. Trump is superficial and he's also a major grifter so there you go.

r83's pic is from 1976, The baby is Michel Trudeau, the one who died in an avalanche in the late 90s.
