My Take
What strikes me most about Margaret Trudeau is that she refused to be a footnote in other people's biographies. Wife of one prime minister, mother of another — history handed her a supporting role, and she kept rewriting it as a lead. Through memoirs, acting, photography, and advocacy, she has insisted on telling her own story in her own voice, often with disarming honesty about her private struggles. I find that kind of candor braver than political power. Born in Vancouver in 1948, she has lived several lives in one, and the throughline is a stubborn, admirable refusal to be silent.
