Charles-Émile Trudeau
Joseph Charles-Émile "Charley" Trudeau (July 5, 1887 – April 10, 1935) was a successful French Canadian entrepreneur, father of Pierre Trudeau, 15th Prime Minister of Canada, and grandfather of Justin Trudeau, 23rd and current Prime Minister of Canada.
==Life and career==
Charles-Émile Trudeau was born on his family's farm in Saint-Michel-de-Napierville, Quebec, the son of Joseph Trudeau (1848–1919),〔Memoirs, Pierre Elliott Trudeau, 1993〕 a semi-literate farmer, and Malvina Cardinal (1849–1931), whose own father was Saint-Constant, Quebec's mayor Solime Cardinal (1815–1897) who insisted that their sons be given a good education which her husband agreed sending them to College Sainte-Marie. Trudeau later studied law at the Laval University's campus in Montreal which would later became the University of Montreal in 1919. In 1915, after a ten-year courtship, he married Grace Elliott (1890–1973), the daughter of a prominent Scots-Quebecer entrepreneur, Phillip-Armstrong Elliott (1859–1936), and his wife Sarah-Rebecca Sauve (1857–1899), and had four children, their first child dying at birth. Charles-Émile Trudeau was considered gregarious, boisterous and extravagant.
Trudeau, a lawyer by training, practiced for 10 years with Ernest Bertrand, at that time the Senior Crown Prosecutor, as well as Charles E. Guérin. Trudeau accumulated a fortune by building a number of gas stations around the Montreal area and a loyalty program known as the Automobile Owners' Association, which by 1932 had 15,000 members, patronizing Trudeau's thirty stations. He sold his business to Champlain Oil Products Limited for $1 million, while remaining with Champlain as its general manager. Among his other investments, Trudeau had interests in mining companies. He was a noted baseball enthusiast: the largest shareholder and member of the Board of Directors of the Montreal Royals baseball team, and the team's vice-president at the time of his death.〔〔 He was also vice-president of Montreal's Belmont Park and a prominent philanthropist, including as a benefactor of the Hôpital Sainte-Jeanne d'Arc, for which he also served as director at the time of his death.〔(The General Star ) at www.jdgravenor.com〕〔
Politically, Trudeau was a strong supporter of the Conservative Party, opposed to Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King.〔Trudeau, Pierre Elliott. ''Memoirs'', McClelland & Stewart Inc., 1993, p. 184.〕 Pierre Trudeau would recall that "political arguments never lacked liveliness" between Charles and his friends.〔Trudeau, p. 10.〕
