Now I've seen a few threads discuss this idea, and I'm curious about it myself. What would Canadian politics look like without Pierre Trudeau? Doesn't matter if he's killed in 1949 by a sniper or just decides not to run.
How would 1968 Liberal leadership unfold? Would John Turner's support with youth and Quebec push him over the edge? Would Robert Winters come first and not second? Would Paul Hellyer emerge as the compromise? Would Sharp? What about Jean Marchand and Gérard Pelletier? Would they run to give Quebec a voice? Could the winner defeat Stanfieldmania, who polls at the time showed around a 6-9 point lead over the Liberals with the NDP set to make gains?
This is a major tipping point for Canada, and could radically alter more than just politics.
