"Canadians came to embrace him as they had no other leader since Wilfred Laurier, prime minister from 1896 until 1911. By the time of his death, the achievements Trudeau had established for Canada - the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, a federal policy of multiculturalism, a federal policy of official bilingualism, a federal recognition of equality of the provinces with no special status for Quebec, an international policy of peacekeeping and 'human security' - had become an inseparable part of the country. In fact, to English-speaking Canadians especially, they were Canada. The Canada of the twenty-first century is Trudeau's Canada." – Richard Gwyn, author
