Pierre Elliot Trudeau - The rise of Communism in Canada



" One has to be in the wheelhouse to see what shifts are taking place. I know that we have spun the wheel and I know that the rudder is beginning to press against the waves and the sea ... but perhaps the observer, who is on the deck and smoking his pipe, or drinking his tea, sees the horizon much in the same direction and doesn't realize it, but perhaps he will find himself disembarking at a different island than the one he thought he was sailing for."

Pierre Elliot Trudeau May 1971 

Perhaps the most shadowy coup d'état ever administered against Canada was the seizure and control of the Liberal Party of Canada by a  country club clique and its Manchurian candidate Pierre Elliott Trudeau.

Inspired by Karl Marx 'Management by Crisis' doctrine Trudeau's political, constitutional and economical visions, deliberately lunched Canada into crises that shook the federation down on its knees; language problems were exacerbated, regional issues aggravated, the feeling of alienation spread across the land. Under Trudeau's supervision Canadian foreign policy all of a sudden shifted from the middle of the ground conservative values to siding with left-wing regimes from all four corners of the earth including China's Mao red square regime.  If only Canadians knew then what many readers are about to discover of Pierre Elliott Trudeau's past and background, no doubt his claim to fame would of been a short lived one.



1940: Pierre Elliot Trudeau campaigns for the anti-conscription candidate Jean Drapeau (later Mayor of Montreal), and was henceforth expelled from the Canadian Officer Training Corps (COTC) for lack of discipline.

1941: Trudeau allies with The Socialist Workers Party of Canada (Labor Party) an "umbrella" organization of the Canadian Communist Marxist-Leninist League (CL). The Labor Party ran candidates in both federal and provincial elections with parliamentary representation in the provinces of Québec, Manitoba, Alberta and British Columbia.

Trudeau then joins the Bloc Populaire an anti-War advocate. The party was inspired by nationalist Henri Bourassa's vision to defend the provincial autonomy and the rights of French Canadians. Jean Drapeau and Pierre Elliot Trudeau were members.





 National Committee-Socialist Workers of Canada The Fourth International Canadian section


-The First International was the inaugural attempt at unifying the growing variety of different left-wing social movements such as the Communist, anarchist, and trade union organizations. Engineered by German philosopher and revolutionary socialist Karl Marx who in 1848 co-authored The Communist Manifesto with his good friend and college German Industrialist, social scientist, political theorist, philosopher,  Friedrich Engels. Marx had read and was impressed by Engels' book The Condition of the Working Class in England. After reading his book, Marx adopted Engels 'Hegelian' ideals and made part of his own philosophy. Not only did Friedrich provide ample fuel to Marx socialist fire, he also financially supported Marx and the revolution.

Hegelian.: George Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel a German philosopher  father of the three-stage process of dialectical reasoning (Thesis, Antithesis, Synthesis or Problem, Reaction, Solution) which Marx based his revolutionary Management by Crisis' doctrine.

-The Second International. After the death of his friend Karl Marx in March of 1883, Friedrich organized Marx's notes on the "Theories of Surplus Value," this was later published as the "fourth volume" of Capital. Engels contribution  and determination to keep the "party spirit" alive kept the collective united right on up to the ascent of the Third International.

-The Third or 'Communist' International was an International Communist Organization initiated in Moscow during March of 1919. The agenda called for the creation of an International Soviet Republic as a transition stage to the complete abolition of the State "by all available means" including armed force. This commitment was founded after the 1915 Zimmerwald Conference where Vladimir Lenin had organized the "Zimmerwald Left" who for lack of better words "bullied" anyone who refused to approve  statement endorsing socialist revolutionary action and /or values.

-The Fourth International historically, was established in France 1938. Leon Trotsky and his supporters, having been expelled from the Soviet Union, considered the third International to have become "lost to Stalinism" and incapable of leading the international working class to political power. Trotsky was initially a supporter of the Menshevik Internationalists faction of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party. Trotsky joined the Bolsheviks immediately prior to the 1917 October Revolution, and eventually became a leader within the Party. During the early days of the Soviet Union. Trotsky served first as People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs and later as the founder and commander of the Red Army as People's Commissar of Military and Naval Affairs. He was a major figure in the Bolshevik victory in the Russian Civil War (1918–20).



April 3, 1917  Halifax, Nova Scotia.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) arrest Leon Trotsky after being tipped off that Trotsky would return to Russia, in order to take it out of the war against Germany.

- This would free many German divisions to fight against Allied Forces on the Western Front. -

A worldwide decry ensued when it was announced that Trotsky, an important agent of the Marxist agenda, had been arrested by the RCMP. England's Prime Minister, Lloyd George, immediately demanded that Trotsky be released; U.S. President Woodrow Wilson voiced similar demands. It was at this historic juncture that John D. Rockefeller Jr of standard Oil called in a marker with MacKenzie King.


Standard oil oligarch John D. Rockefeller Jr. hired King after he lost his seat in the 1911 general election, which saw the Conservatives defeat the Liberals. King now a Director of the Rockefeller Foundation, headed the newly created department of Industrial Relations (public relations). The department's objective was to better understand the origins of and solutions to problems between workers and management which King was confident he could conduct. Naturally, King's appointment was controversial within labour circles to the effect that the former labour minister had sold out to the Oligarch Bourgeois Class.

MacKenzie King came to Trotsky's rescue, sent him on his way, and the Bolsheviks coup d'état in Russia took place on schedule. 

" Where force is necessary, there it must be applied boldly, decisively, and completely. But, one must know the limitations of force; one must know when to blend force with a maneuver, a blow with an agreement." 

Leon Trotsky


1945: Trudeau enrolled at Harvard University, spawning ground of leftist intellectuals.

1947: Attended London School of Economics. Told Norman DePoe that Marxist Professor Harold Laski, a renowned Marxist, was 'the most stimulating and powerful influence he had encountered'

1950: Trudeau was in Shanghai when the Communists took over, and became a rabid admirer of Mao Tse-tung and his Red regime.


1951: Back in Montreal, Trudeau launched the left wing publication Cité Libre. Among the well-known Marxist who collaborated, we note: Professor Raymond Boyer convicted of Soviet espionage; Stanley B. Ryerson, leading theoretician of the Communist Party of Canada and editor of Marxist Review, Pierre Gelinas, Quebec director of Agitation & Propaganda of the Communist Party of Canada.

Cité Libre  was the very definition of punching below the belt. There are those who say Cité Libre was the seedbed for the "Quiet Revolution" that swept Quebec in the 1960's. Cité Libre spoke out against Quebec's Duplessis government, civil liberties, supported the Asbestos strikers, and opposed Maurice Duplessis's government infamous Padlock Law.


The Padlock Law officially called "Act to protect the Province Against Communistic Propaganda"  was passed on March 24, 1937 by the Union Nationale government of Maurice Duplessis. The law was intended to prevent the dissemination of communist propaganda.

The Act prohibited anyone to propagate Communism or Bolshevism by any means whatsoever, as well as the printing, publishing or distributing of "any newspaper, periodical, pamphlet, circular, document or writing, propagating Communism or Bolshevism." Violation of the Act subjected property to being ordered closed -"padlocked" - by the Attorney General against any use for a period of up to one (1) year, and any person found guilty of involvement in prohibited media activities could be incarcerated for three to thirteen months.


Trudeau's Left wing publication attracted some of Quebec's keen socialist minds notably; Gérard Pelletier, René Lévesque and Pierre Vallières among others.

Gérard Pelletier met Trudeau while studying in France and worked with him during the Asbestos Strike of 1949 in Quebec. Along with labour leader, Jean Marchand they were dubbed the "Three Wise Men"

Pierre Vallières journalist and writer,  considered an intellectual leader of the Front de libération du Québec (FLQ). Active between 1963 and 1970 the FLQ was regarded as a terrorist organization for its violent methods an action, its members imposed Leninist bully tactics and issued a "Zimmerwald Left" declarations that called for a socialist insurrection against oppressors identified as the "Anglo-Saxon" imperialism. The overthrow of the Quebec government, the independence of Quebec from Canada and the establishment of a French-speaking Quebecer "workers' society."

René Lévesque Journalist, war correspondent and TV show host, Lévesque became a household name with his public affairs program Point de Mire, broadcast on Radio-Canada from 1956 to 1958. He joined  Québec Libéral Jean Lesage’s team with the idea of participating in the reform movement Lesage would initiate when he came to power in 1960. As Minister of Natural Resources lévesque proposed to make Hydro-Québec a powerful lever of economic development for Québec. The Nationalization of Quebec Electricity grid provided Power Corporation of Canada, a Rockefeller interest, with a lucrative capital venture with the province.      
Lévesque's political career changed course as the result of the 1968 merger between René Lévesque's Mouvement Souveraineté-Association and the Ralliement national; In 1976 he became the 23rd Premier of Quebec. Lévesque was the first Quebec political leader since Confederation to attempt, through a referendum, to negotiate political separation for Québec.
