During the time that MMY was inaugurating the Dawn of the Age of 
Enlightenment (circa 1975) he visited Canada and had an audience 
with then-Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau.

On the front page of every newspaper the next day was a photo of MMY 
and PET.  Did this instance of sucking up to a democratic leader 
work?  Who knows?  But at the time I was a big admirer of Trudeau 
(not any more!) and, of course, a great admirer of MMY...so, for me, 
it worked.
