Summary

The eldest son of former Canadian prime minister Pierre Trudeau, Justin Trudeau at first wanted little to do with politics, even working as a bouncer and a snowboard instructor for a period after he graduated college. After the death of his father and engaging in public speaking and public advocacy work, he decided to throw his hat into the political ring—and, during the Canadian federal election of October 2015, he and the Liberal Party achieved a stunning victory over the Conservative and New Democratic Parties. 

Enhanced by a timeline, bibliography, and suggestions for further reading, Justin Trudeau is a fascinating account of a prime minster known as a charismatic speaker and passionate advocate for the environment and social justice issues.
