 Alexandre Trudeau explores national security certificates in new documentary
Trudeau has become a vocal critic of security certificates, which are issued by the federal government against non-citizens who are deemed a threat to national security.
Trudeau cited the arrest of 17 alleged terrorists in southern Ontario in June as proof that Canada is capable of dealing with potential security threats within the confines of the pre-existing justice system.
Trudeau said he made the documentary to inform the average Canadian, who might be unaware of or unfamiliar with the certificate process.

 Cerberus: Alexandre Trudeau on Fidel "Superman" Castro
For those who admire Trudeau, or at least some of his great accomplishments (most notably the Charter of Rights and his fight against Quebec separatists), his intimate, too comfortable and uncritical relationship with some of the worst human rights abusers of the world is an indelible stain on his legacy.
To me, Alexandre was writing more on his personal admiration for the man (and his father's for the man, and their personal relationship) as a paradox to Castro's policies.
When Pierre Trudeau visited China (with his friend and former senator Jacques Hebert) in 1960, he came out praising the communist regime, somehow managing to ignore the tens of millions that were dying from famine and mass executions in the aftermath of the Great Leap Forward.

 Alexandre Trudeau -- not a very useful idiot   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Trudeau testified before a Federal Court Justice who is hearing an application for release by Almrei and told the court that he was willing to post a $5,000 bond and to accompany the alleged terrorist anywhere he goes should the court release him.
The fact that the person who is the subject of the certificateis not allowed to see all of the evidence them runs counter to our open system of justice where someone whose liberty or rights are taken away is able to know the case that they have to meet and to confront their accusers.
Trudeau is no different than former Foreign Affairs Minister Bill Graham and others in his department who simply couldn’t believe that Maher Arrar was being tortured in Syria; a country whose officials they were dealing with didn’t appear to condone torture.

Trudeau's profile of Palestinian terrorist Zakariah Zubeidi was a classic example: while portraying Zubeidi sympathetically, Trudeau neglected to mention that Zubeidi makes a living by killing civilians.
Evidently Trudeau didn't receive the memo that Israel's "attack" was in response to unprovoked aggression from Lebanese territory, including a rocket barrage on Israel's north, the murder of 8 Israeli soldiers, and the kidnapping of 2 others.
Trudeau has become a form of social autoimmune disease, bent on destroying a bodies ability to defend itself and in the case of Israel, their right to exist.

App's e-mail was accompanied by a 29-page essay in which he contended that Trudeau's vision of one united, bilingual, pluralistic Canada is being distorted and betrayed by opponents of the Quebec nation resolution.
He argued that Trudeau was opposed to ethnic nationalism, not to the modern civic nationalism that is prevalent in Quebec today and which Ignatieff wants to recognize.
And Apps chided Liberals, including Justin Trudeau, for blindly clinging to Trudeau's vision of the country without fully understanding the former prime minister's philosophy or recognizing that times have changed.

Alexandre Trudeau issued a written statement saying that anyone who believes his father would have supported Ignateiff's views "couldn't be more wrong." He said it's "more objectionable still" to suggest that his father "would, like Ignatieff, deal in vacuous terms meant to appease emotions."
