 Pierre Trudeau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
During the 1950s, he was fllisted by the United States and prevented from entering that country because of a visit to a conference in Moscow (where he was briefly arrested for throwing a snowball at a statue of Stalin) and because he subscribed to a number of leftist publications.
Trudeau announced his intention to resign as Liberal Party leader; however, before a leadership convention could be held, Clark's government was defeated in the Canadian House of Commons by a Motion of Non-Confidence.
On a visit to Winnipeg, Manitoba, he infamously quipped: "Why should I sell the Canadian farmers' wheat?" (this was actually in the context of a longer comment in which he answered his own question), and on another rail trip through the West, giving the middle finger to protestors in Salmon Arm.
