This is the same guy who legalized abortion, and sodomy, and opened the door to gay marriage and rule by judges with the Charter of rights, and who screwed Alberta families over with the NEP.
They need to stop naming places after dead politicians. Especially Liberal ones. I'm getting tired of this. reminds me of Stalinist Statuary societies, building mementoes to their party elites. I think I'll make a point of starting my flights out of Burlington, VT. (UNless they rename that "bernie Sanders" or "Howard Dean")

Dorval to be renamed for ex-PM Trudeau
NORTH BAY, Ont. (CP) - Montreal's Dorval airport will be renamed in honour of Pierre Trudeau with the approval of the former prime minister's two sons.
"I spoke to Sacha Trudeau a couple of times last week and he was absolutely delighted," Transport Minister David Collenette said Thursday.
The airport will be re-christened in September.
Trudeau was responsible for the building of Mirabel airport north of Montreal which became a financial albatross around the neck of the federal government.
The former prime minister's legacy is still hotly contested in Quebec. Separatists still see him as the man who thwarted Quebec's aspirations for independence. Federalists believe he made Quebecers and the French language pivotal to the daily functioning of the federal government.
Prime Minister Jean Chretien said he was sure Quebecers will welcome the name change.
They're going to be delighted," said Chretien, who has also been a polarizing figure in Quebec throughout his career. "This is a great Quebecer and a great Canadian."
"I think it's a marvelous way of honouring a great Canadian."
Collenette said Ottawa did not consult the Quebec government about the name change.
