Justin
Pierre James Trudeau PC MP (born
December 25, 1971) is a Canadian politician. He is the 23rd and current Prime Minister
of Canada and leader
of the Liberal Party. The second youngest prime minister
after Joe Clark, he is also, as the eldest son of former Prime
Minister Pierre Trudeau, the first to be related to a previous holder
of the post.
Born in Ottawa, Trudeau attended Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf and graduated from McGill University in
1994 and the University of British Columbia in 1998. He gained a high public
profile in October 2000, when he delivered a eulogy at his father's state
funeral. After
graduating, he worked as a teacher in Vancouver, British Columbia. He completed one year of an
engineering program at Montreal's École Polytechnique before quitting in 2003. In 2005 he
began a master's degree in environmental geography at McGill University but quit after
one year. He used his public profile to advocate for various causes and acted
in the 2007 TV miniseries The Great War.
Eight years after his father's death, Trudeau entered politics.
In the 2008 federal election,
he was elected to represent the riding of Papineau in the House of Commons. In
2009, he was appointed the Liberal Party's critic for youth
and multiculturalism, and the following year, became critic for citizenship and
immigration. In 2011, he was appointed as critic for secondary education and youth
and amateur sport. Trudeau won the leadership of the Liberal Party in April 2013 and went on to lead his
party to victory in the 2015 federal election,
moving the 3rd-placed Liberals from 36 seats to 184 seats, the largest-ever
numerical increase by a party in a Canadian election.
