Trudeau on Unreconciled Provinces


Title:
Trudeau on Unreconciled Provinces

Description:
In a 1987 CBC interview with Barbara Frum on the Meech Lake Accord, Pierre Trudeau argues that as long as Quebec or any other province thinks they can get more power, they will claim to be "left out" or "unreconciled" but this doesn't mean the Prime Minister of Canada should give in to their every whim.
