Justin better than his dad: Maggie Trudeau

Question for Justin Trudean, son of the former Prime Minister of Canada, Pierre Elliot Trudean.
"In what way are you better than your father?" he is asked.

"Well, I think I'm more of a people's person. My dad liked people, but sometimes in little doses."


Toronto Sun quote first quoted April 3, 2011

Shaking his hand tonight, Justin's eyes did all the talking, I was speechless as he stood before me, he has an enormous energy that leaps and transcends his fathers reputation, his is magnetic and charming as he walks through the crowd and makes every effort to speak to every supporter and shake their hand. Growing up in a very Liberal household, I grew up with Trudeau mania and my Papou's strong liberal opinion. I like Justin, I think he has what it takes to bring  grace and charm back into politics, with time and more experience under his belt, if he learns to work the crowd on the podium as he does one on one........he has the potential for making his father proud in a very big way. Following in his fathers footsteps???........TIME WILL TELL.

"The word multiculturalism has become synonymous in the mind of many Quebecers as being something that is imposed by English Canada," said Liberal MP Justin Trudeau, whose father — former prime minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau — made multiculturalism official government policy in 1971.
Pierre Trudeau raised his children in relative privacy in Montreal. Justin recalled fond memories of his father in a 2008 interview, saying that of all the family outings he enjoyed camping with his father the most--because "that was where our father got to be just our father—a dad in the woods.”^[1] Justin studied English literature (BA , McGill University) and Education (B.Ed, University of British Columbia), eventually becoming a social studies and French teacher in Sir Winston Churchill Secondary School in Vancouver, British Columbia. He is currently completing a Master of Arts in Geography at McGill University. At his father's funeral in 2000, Justin delivered a memorable eulogy.^[2]
On May 28, 2005, Justin Trudeau married Sophie Grégoire, a former model and Quebec television host. They have two children: Xavier James Trudeau (born October 18, 2007)^[3] and Ella-Grace Margaret Trudeau (born February 5, 2009).^[4]
Grégoire also lends her support to helping families, children and mothers. She is deeply involved in working with The Shield of Athena, a non-profit organization for victims of family violence.^[8]
