When Maggie, the mother of Justin Trudeau creaked to a member of the Rolling Stones – Gala

anecdote

When we talk about Justin Trudeau, we think gladly to his father Pierre Elliott Trudeau, canadian prime minister for 11 years, minus his mother, Margaret. Yet, this last, in its time, made headlines following its merger with the tumultuous Rolling Stones.

Arrived at the head of the canadian government in 2015, Justin Trudeau makes regular speak to him for his physical benefit. Today, it is his mother who is at the center of attention. The periodical canadian Macleans reveals its “dark” in an article dated 1977. Year, where the wife of the prime minister has encanaille with the band of Mick Jagger.

It all began in march 1977, when Margaret, aged 28, went to the Rolling Stones ‘ concert in Toronto, two nights in a row. “Each time, she arrived with singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Ron Wood : it would have attracted more advertising only if it had arrived on the arm of Keith Richards, the guitarist, leader and composer,” says the magazine. It must be said that a few days earlier, the rocker was arrested by the police with 22 grams of heroin. Dating bad to a woman politician. Even Charlie Watts, the drummer of the band, has fun with the irony of the situation : “I would not want my wife to be associated with people like us”. Under-heard musicians as outrageous.

But Margaret has no in-tell-t-on. Also, this evening, instead of celebrating his 6th wedding anniversary with Pierre Elliott Trudeau, it encanaille at the group’s first concert, following them up in their suite for a party wild. The next day, it reiterates the most beautiful which starts to arouse suspicion as much as it seems “clear that the prime Minister’s office had no idea what she was doing,” says the journalist of the time.

A few days later, the young woman goes to New York to go see a ballet at City Center, defending himself to follow the Stones, of passage, also, in the ” Big Apple “. The media took this case crispy. And Margaret, presented as the woman who lies to her husband, made the the New York Post. Even the English press goes. The Daily Mail wrote “Ron Wood … is the Stone that is very special to Ms. Trudeau (…) He can probably tell you more about the place where Margaret the prime minister”. For his part, Pierre Elliott, remained in Canada, he must, to justify acts of his wife. During a press conference in Ottawa, he says and that if the latter “goes a famous concert, expect it to be noticed”. And when a reporter pointed out to her that Ms. Trudeau has eluded a few of his official commitments, the latter answered ambiguously “she just wants to have a private life for the moment”.

At the center of national debates (heated, Margaret is more and more severely criticized to the point that her husband is forced to intervene on tv to deny the rumors about his infidelity with one of the rockers English. Yet, two months later, the couple announced their separation. However, we will have to wait until 2010 to get confirmation of this story much more fantastic than we think. In his autobiography, Life, Keith Richards admits, indeed, that Margaret Trudeau has had an affair with Ron Wood…, But also, with Mick Jagger. Two Rolling Stones for the price of one !
