I doubt many outside Canada have ever heard of him. He wasn’t elected, rather he assumed the position as leader of the Liberal party after Pierre Trudeau retired, at which time he didn’t even have a seat in Parliament. He served only a few months. Prior to that though he had been an elected parliamentarian and cabinet minister for many years.Probably more well known for dating Princess Margaret than his short term as Canadian Prime Minister.
Same week as former “First Lady” Aline Chretian passes on.
What a week.
