Pierre Trudeau’s Christian Vision with Dr. Allen Mills True North Theology with Ryan Turnbull

Today’s episode features a conversation with Dr. Allen Mills about the theo-political vision of former Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau. We explore the ways which, what Dr. Mills calls the ‘3 Ps’ of this vision - personalism, pluralism, and pragmatism - shaped the political career of one of the most compelling figures in all of Canadian political history.

Dr. Mills is a retired Senior Scholar in Political Science from the University of Winnipeg.
