I was a commie prime minister

from Canada Did What?! · host Postmedia

Every democratic leader gets accused of being either a communist or a Nazi at some point. But Canada really did have a prime minister who was unashamed about his love for communist regimes, from China to the U.S.S.R. to Cuba. Pierre Trudeau regularly took their side during the Cold War and befriended their brutal dictators. He’s frequently voted one of Canada’s best prime ministers but we’re going to show you Pierre Trudeau’s little-known dark side. And boy is it dark.
