Canadian politician and 23rd Prime Minister of Canada is Justin James Pierre Trudeau PC MP.

He is of Scottish and French-Canadian descent and hails from a family of politicians and businessmen. He is the first Prime Minister whose parent was a previous Prime Minister.

Growing up in a broken family, Justin spent his time in Ottawa, then British Columbia, before settling with his siblings and father in Montreal. But, he remained close to his mother and her new family. He caught the public’s attention after he delivered his eulogy for his father during his state funeral back in 2000. He eventually entered politics and continued his active support for the Liberal Party following his father’s footsteps.

He is known to be the second youngest prime minister and the second child of a prime minister that was born while the PM was seated in office. He also is a lover of sports and outdoor adventures due to his constant trips with his father. He described those trips to be the only time his father was a simple father in the woods with his children and not a father of the country.

Background of Justin Trudeau

When he was five years old, his parents publicly declared their separation which left him and his sibling under the custody of his father. They stayed in the official residence of the Prime Minister before he lost his position. They were supposed to move to the Stornoway Residence but due to flooding problems, he and his brothers only stayed on the top floor of the house. Both parents of Justin agreed to send him to a public school for his education and for him to take the school bus with a Royal Canadian Mounted Police that followed suit.

He attended Rockcliffe Park Public School before transferring to Lycée Claudel d’Ottawa where he spent a year studying. He then studied at Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf following his father’s retirement. He earned his degree in Literature at McGill University and his education degree at the University of British Columbia. He also studied engineering at the École Polytechnique de Montréal but didn’t continue. Instead, he finished his Master’s Degree in Environmental Geography at McGill University.

He appeared in the two-part mini TV series “The Great War” and also worked as a camp counselor at Algonquin Provincial Park before pursuing his political career. He is also an honorary member of the Haida tribe where he got his inspiration for his large Earth inside a Haida raven tattoo.
