George Tonight: Margaret Trudeau | George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight | CBC 

GLAD i FOUND this help understand what may be wrong with justin

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree..!

Margaret Kemper for those who care. The name Trudeau makes her money.

Things are much clearer now re: Canada's problems.

She should have been asked a question about her role in strengthening "relations" between Canada and Cuba.

What she said about sleep & being tired from being active by excerising, walking outside & jumping was 🔑 key to breaking out of depression 👍

I must say I do like Margaret Trudeau, she's such a likable soul, which makes it understandable why she had such a difficult time fitting into the world of politics, too honest and lovely by far!

So this is why he became a drama teacher in education aside from being a student at WEF

This clip says it all THE APPLES DON'T FALL FAR FROM THE TREE

Like mother : Like son ! Scary Stuff !

This woman and Fidel Castro, made Justin Trudeau, hmmm, that's why we have what we have in Canada.

Does she has any influence on his son, Justin Trudeau? Tell him to talk to the people who he suppose to serve to.

OLALALA, and she is mother of Canadian PM? HAHAHAHA, Good Luck Canada!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She looks constantly spaced out

Now I understand why her son is so clueless and incompetent

I've always loved her. The openness with which she talks about her condition is refreshing.

Just watched an old 60 minutes interview in Australia. She was flakey then as she is now.

Teach your son that being prime minister is about helping others no yourself

Margaret, if they were so happy in Cuba, why do they want to leave?

Being highly promiscuous is also a bi-polar trait. It's well known that she slept around on her husband. Long term drug use, partying and not getting enough sleep can cause bipolar. Also postpartum and hormonal fluctuations can be the onset of the disease.

Dang! She NEVER stops talking.

I wonder if she’ll ever admit that Fidel Castro is Justin Trudeau’s father

I saw the interview when she was younger and she was a space cadet hippie. Castro went hat-in-hand to every country he could but didn't make deals for food and Doctors only get $20 a month like every citizen.

Is this Justin Trudeau’s mother? If so, this explains a lot.

Oh Good Grief! Youthful folly? Bipolar is one thing, but being a druggie most of your life creates its own issues! At least we know where young Justin gets his dramatic flare.

Can tell she was a very free spirited woman who felt caged..

A walking ad for contraceptives...

I remember reading the first two books she wrote, long ago. Quite shocking at the time. I just want to say that in those days we did not understand mental illness. There was limited help. And post-partum depression is no laughing matter. To Margaret's credit, she has tried her best to get well. She seems loving & honest. She has truly been thru a lot in her life. It is fortunate that she has a very supportive family. She manages to keep positive, laughs a lot, & has a wonderful smile. We can't stand in judgement of her.

I wish George would’ve kept doing these wonderful red chair interviews ... he always seemed to make his guests most relaxed and more open & honest.

Very interesting how she mentions "the Jesuits"

She’s doing much better here than the 60mins interview 20 years earlier. I’m glad her doctors eventually diagnosed her condition and she got adequate treatment. Even still, she talks a little too fast and goes off on tangents. Gotta watch that! Still very beautiful.

Why does she still use the Trudeau name? She has had her 5 minutes of fame.

I have had BP most of my life (happily balanced now), and it was obvious to me that she was sub-threshold manic in the old 60-min interview - but I also think she had that kind of raw (and very unconventional) insight and wisdom that people have when they see their life taken apart and put together and taken apart again in the ups and downs of depression and mania and don't know what to hold on to...which, as difficult as it is (I think a lot of people don't have an idea of the suffering that inflicts on someone) can be the greatest chance of having to figure out a lot of things that most people leave at the surface because they don't have to face their demons in that way. But here...hm..."youthful folly" and "what did I know back then" and "we just had this generational gap" is not how I would talk or even think about my younger lost and struggling self and the thoughts I had back then and the decisions I made and the dysfunctional relationships I got myself into...is that what Prozac does to you when you take it for decades? Which I didn't even know is used to treat BP, it's not in my part of the world as far as I know. Did she never ask herself what made that girl who told her parents at 17 "I don't care, I just want to be free" and herself "I have to be me" marry a guy like Pierre Trudeau and try to fit herself into a box that said "first lady of Canada"? Or where her "man craziness" and "love craziness" (her words) come from? She talks about having to be aware and going inside but all I'm hearing is "chemical imbalance" and "activating serotonin with exercise"...my heart goes out to everyone who struggles, but there is no getting out of BP and finding balance without doing the actual inner work and addressing the bigger issues.

Even bere she' appears to be on a manic high.

You never really recover from drugs.....

Jet set trash. Yes Margaret some of us are still alive and know who you really are.

Such a fascinating, compelling & charming woman. Easy to see what Pierre was drawn to, & easy to see how their diametrical characters would eventually grate & wear on eachother & the marriage would break down. Glorious for a while tho, & they both spoke well of & defended the other long after they divorced. The big change, to me, from the earlier interviews to this one is her self-awareness. Still effervescent, funny, insightful, open & honest, but she brings a clear-eyed perspective here. Great interview of a woman who, even at this point in her life, is still ahead of her time.

Balance your moods. Total key.

George: "When you look back on your antics do you ever think.... ?"

Does she ever take a breath?

I am going to end p with bipolar after this❗️🥲

Alan Fotheringham once said Pierre's biggest mistake was marrying the ditzy Sinclair daughter, not the smart one.

She didn’t even see Justin being PM...same

This explains a lot

How did an articulate and highly intelligent PM find her worthy as a wife? That mindless decision had indelible consequences on Pierre's personal life and the life of us Canadians TODAY.

She dresses like an airline attendant.

Fidel Castro gave it to her.

No wonder Justin is crazy.......

This woman gets a lot of guff but I do appreciate that she is pretty transparent and is willing to tell us honestly, I think, about herself and her struggles. She doesn’t seem conniving or evil or disingenuous. Canada could’ve done a lot worse.

Interesting that Justin's 'pappa' Fidel supposedly wanted to take his countrymen from abject poverty, misery, and illiteracy - feed them, get them healthy, and educate them and he's (according to Margaret) done that. Meanwhile sonny boy appears to have the antithesis of those goals for his countrymen and he's well on his way to achieving those goals from all that I see.

It's difficult to be free in a world of slaves

I now agree with joe8075. My thoughts about Margaret Trudeau have altered since the recent WE scandal. Justine was raised in a privileged environment and is blinded by his apparent sense of entitlement. Sending troupes into Mali while she was a volunteer, was the thing that made me think twice about her character and her son's.

Still all over the place/unbalanced

9:13 That's just painful to watch. Did she know she was being recorded? Or that there are a few million Cubans who disagree with her?

She's kind of like a Kristen Wiig character on SNL

Margret you are a spark and a light. Its your life, live it your way. You remind me so much of my mom. Shes gone now, but what i loved the most about her was how non judgmental she was. Most judged her though. Dont let them.

Margaret writing a book????? Thats an oxymoron!!!!

Canada doesn't have a first lady, spouses have only ever been referred to as wife of the Prime Minister.

7:30 What?

Explains a lot of why Trudeau' is the way he is.

Margaret is a beautiful lady. She's lived a life to say the least. If only we knew the truth about that trip to Cuba 😉 but its ok, we understand it happens. 🙏❤.

George your such a stud & so sweet❤️😘❤️😘❤️😘

Her condition nothing to do with after effects and impact of any drug taking. Or it simply runs in the family...

Wow she is really a fast wit.

Well this is an improvement from the 60 minutes interview, it certainly explains what is wrong with Justin but we can also include narcissism in him.

She was Rod Stewart's "Maggie May"...?!

'THE FATHERS OF MY CHILDREN". WHO ARE THEY?

Dang! She's a talker 😂🤣

Why did You not have a child with Mick Jagger or any of the many others...Why Castro...

An 18year old girl was married off to a wealthy 50 year old man for breeding purposes. She gave birth to 4 children with her groomer, and the comments section is focused on her alleged sexual exploits as if the 50yo had nothing to do with this woman's breakdown.

She seems a bit manic here.

Weird 😳😳.. those drugs are very dangerous..

Jagger went in first, then the rest of the stones took they're turn, finally Castro got sloppy sixths, nine months later, along came Justin.

What a family. Smh.

I am so proud of Mrs. Trudeau that she talks so openly about her condition It takes a lot of strength and courage to talk.she is helping lot of people by talking so openly.Thanks

Too bad,I’ve never been north of the border before.

I believe she is a great lady and we are lucky to have such a well spoken person speaking from experience with truth on the epidemic of mental illnesses in Canada. God bless her always.

Justin is Margret Jr.

She's been married at least twice since Pierre, yet she used the name Trudeau. Looking for publicity?

She's lived a full life. How many people can attest to that ? Her son is now the PM. 😉

A shameless woman who insists her audiences use four letter words.

its a disorder not a disease

I actually think she is very brave in telling her story

SHE CRAY CRAY - and her Son is the Prime Minister - what could possibly go wrong?

Lol 😂 all these old videos getting new comments 😂🤣

to 96mauser i refer you tn bble john 6:7,8 he without sin let him cast the first stone

I've been saying it for weeks. JT needs a mental health check!! lol Runs in the family!! Not to be down on his ma

She was 18, and Pierre was 50, when they married. That's a little "off" to start with. And why, if she's re-married, does she keep the Trudeau name? Huh, she's still after the fame and the money.

George would blow JT given the chance...

Leo del pasqua?

I listened to Sophie on Meghan's podcast, she seems a little goofy too, but maybe she was just being silly.

i can see why and how Pierre Trudeau fell in love with her she is very candid and gracefully charming

WoW! Some people are just a bunch of negative Nelly’s. Have you all tried living with Bi-polar? Have some sympathy for crying out loud. And who cares if Margaret still carry’s the Trudeau name. Why does that bother people? There’s a lot more serious issues going on in the world than former wives hanging onto a former husband’s last name?? Do any of you follow any global issues at all?? Leave the poor lady alone. Margaret has endured a lot of pain and suffering in her life and we should be offering her encouragement and some compassion . And let’s talk Cuba!!!! I bet half of you on here at one point probably visited Cuba or would love to visit Cuba!! I know I would love to visit ! We r not Americans ! We are Canadians ! Keep up the good fight Margaret and RIP Pierre and Fidel!

Now it's clearer to me why Justin is crazy.

Where was abortion when she became pregnant with Justin?

Margaret is such a down to earth and thoughtful person. She got a raw deal from the press and public during her marriage to Trudeau. I'm glad she's seen now as a very genuine and compassionate woman who is full of life and love.

97k views and only around 650 thumbs up. With that ratio we know the thumbs down numbers are huge. It's why RU-vid took them away

Charles Mansons mommy had a lot of similarities

Is she onsomething?

She speaks on bipolar?
