# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born in Outremont in 1919, Trudeau co-founded Cité Libre in 1950 and built his name fighting Quebec's conservative government as a labour activist and law professor. He joined the Liberals in 1965, became justice minister in 1967, and rode a wave called "Trudeaumania" into the prime minister's office in 1968. Over fifteen years and four election wins, he made Canada officially bilingual and multicultural, invoked the War Measures Act during the 1970 October Crisis, launched the National Energy Program that enraged the oil-rich West, and in 1982 patriated the constitution with the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. He retired in 1984, spent his last years arguing against Quebec concessions, and died in 2000—admired for holding the country together, resented for centralizing power, and father to a son who would also lead the nation.
