Alexandre Emmanuel "Sacha" Trudeau (born December 25, 1973) is a Canadian filmmaker and journalist.〔 He is the second son of Canada's former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, and Margaret Trudeau, and the younger brother of Canada's current Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. ==Early life and education== His family was attending midnight mass at Mount Carmel Roman Catholic Church when his mother went into labor and rushed to Ottawa Civic Hospital. The second of three children born to Pierre and Margaret Trudeau during Pierre's term in office, Alexandre Trudeau was a media sensation, just like his brothers, at the time of his birth. However, Pierre and Margaret tried as much as possible to protect their children from the public eye, and after Pierre retired as Prime Minister in 1984, he raised them in relative privacy in Montreal. Like his father and brothers, Alexandre studied at Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf. He graduated with a philosophy degree from McGill University in 1997. At birth, he was given the nickname "Sacha" (the Russian diminutive of Alexander) in recognition of his father's love of Russian literature and culture. The name also is linked to former ambassador of the USSR to Canada and family friend Alexander Yakovlev. When talking about her sons each having distinctly different personalities in an interview in 1977, Margaret Trudeau said, "''Justin, 6, is a prince – a very good little boy. Sasha, born Christmas Day, 1973, is a bit of a revolutionary, very determined and strong willed. Miche (Michel) is a happy, well-adjusted child, who combined the best traits of both brothers.''" While attending McGill, Alexandre joined the Canadian Forces as a Reserve Entry Scheme Officer with Royal Canadian Hussars reserve regiment in 1996.〔 He trained at CFB Gagetown, New Brunswick and was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant, but released voluntarily before completing his training as an armoured officer. Following graduation, he traveled to West Africa to produce his first documentary: ''Liberia, the Secret War'' (1998). When their father died in 2000, both Alexandre and Justin returned to the public eye. Although Alexandre was visibly more reserved and quieter than his brother, his heightened public profile brought new attention〔(Profile ), evalu8.org; accessed November 21, 2015. 〕 to his work as a journalist. After Pierre Trudeau's death Alexandre moved into his home.〔 His sister-in-law Sophie explained that he had a stronger emotional attachment to the home. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alexandre Trudeau」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
