Pierre Trudeau
Criminal Law Amendment Act
The bill decriminalised homosexuality and allowed abortion under certain conditions. A related bill, introduced and passed at the same time, decriminalised the sale of contraceptives. The Act also regulated lotteries, tightened the rules for gun possession and introduced new offences relating to drinking and driving, harassing phone calls, misleading advertising and cruelty to animals. 1968-1969
Trudeaumania
Trudeaumania was the nickname given in early 1968 to the excitement generated by Pierre Trudeau’s entry into the leadership race of the Liberal Party of Canada. Trudeaumania continued during the subsequent federal election campaign and during Trudeau’s early years as Prime Minister of Canada. Decades later, Trudeau’s son, Justin Trudeau, drew a similar international reaction when he became Prime Minister himself in 2015
