Justin Trudeau, then 28, emerged as a prominent figure in October 2000, after delivering a eulogy at his father’s state funeral. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) received numerous calls to rebroadcast the speech after its initial transmission, and leading Quebec politician Claude Ryan described it as “perhaps […] the first manifestation of a dynasty.”
Trudeau pledged to run a C$10 billion annual budget deficit for three years to invest in infrastructure and help stimulate Canada’s anemic economic growth.
