Trudeau invokes memory of his father to inspire rally on his 100th birthday
VAUGHAN, Ont. — Justin Trudeau chose to share a memory of his father, on what would have been his 100th birthday, to motivate a crowd hoping the Liberals can pull off another victory.
“My father always used to tell me that when you are paddling across a big lake, and the clouds get darker and the wind comes up, and the waves start to show white caps and break a little more, there really only is one thing to do,” Trudeau said Friday evening in Vaughan, Ont.
“Sing louder and paddle harder!” the Liberal leader, the eldest son of former prime minister Pierre Trudeau, said to the cheering crowd packed into a ballroom.
The Trudeau campaign spent the day travelling through suburbs around Toronto, where the Liberals are working to hold seats they took from the Conservatives in the last election, and, judging by visits to ridings currently held by their opponents, hoping to win some more.
