6, Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, March 17,_1982 Did, you know... Prime Minister Trudeau in conversation with Davicd Frost David Frast's recent interview with Pierre Trudeau an the Global Television Network was lauded by viewers and reporters alike as one of the most reveahing and personal interviews the Prime Minister has ever given. Syndicated colum-nist Doug Fisher noted that Trudeau had rarely spoken as openly as he did with Frost on such topics as fatherhood, abortion, his chiîdren and his own private life. Beîoyw are somne of the Prime Minister's answers ta the veteran British broadcaster's questions: *6 On runining again for Parliament - 1 have ruled it out in mny own mmmid but ta be perfectly honest, when I was elected in '74 1 had aise ruled it out of my own mind. I didn't say it with as much brutal frankness. I feltI1 had ta say that in '80 because after all 1 had resigned from the leadership of the part-y and I had ta Iook as though there was a time>- in mny life when politics ve-uld be over. Alsa my chiidren are growing up, and there are young people coming up in the party that 1 think shauld be given a chance. Sa I arn more-certain of resigning now than ever before. * On his brief stint as Leader of -the Opposition - 1 think people who saw withdrawal symptons really don't know me very meIl. There may have been withdrawal sym- ptorns of Trudeau the politician. I ca't say I hanestly Ioved rry raie as Leader af the Opposition. But I sure en- joyed my freedom and in.that summer there wvere several weeks in the great outdoors canoeing clown the wild rivers af the Arctîc, and there was time spent with my childre «n and there was a, sudden rediscovery of freedomn and1 guess a iack of pressure Which I nat anly enjayed, but which I think kept me going. If I hadn't had that eight manths in opposition 1 don't think I would be feeling heal- thyand ready for a f ight on the Constitution or energy or the economy. 0 The effect on his chiidren of his separation with Mar- garet Trudeau: - I can't honestly say. I don't think if's a question yau can answer in the absolute. It's obviously better that children have two parents but there are no absolutes and the parent may die or the separation may take place, and my father died "hen I was in rny teens and it was a tragpdy, but life goes on and I think any breaking up of thefamnilyunit is atragedy, but life goes on and I think any breaking up of the family unit is a tragedy, but every event can serve ta help the developrrent of a child as \ý-_l as ta hinder t and it depends how the event is dealt with. * On the fact the Prime Minister is 62 years aId: - As I look at it now 1 don't caunt myseif in years. WMat are the aId cl iches? You're as young as yau feel and sa on. Some- timnes when I'm tired and fed up, I suppose 1 feel výli, look, you're 62 so that is whyyou can't run up the steps as fast as you used ta. But mocst of the time I can run up the steps as fast as I want and 1 forget that I'm 62. 1 Iearned to do o forward f lip.on a trampal ine when I was 61, SO there's prabably afew other things I can Ilearn. * On his plans after retirement from pol itics: - (There are> many books I sill want ta read. Perhaps Iearn ta play the piano better. See the few remraining countries I've neyer visited. See my children grow up and begin ta fulfil themnselves. Maybe write. I guess i always wished,,I had been able ta be more of an artîstic creator. I wvould have laved ta have been a gaod musician or a goad poet or a goad novelist. I think I can write prose pretty v4II but 1 don't have the fantasy ta learn ... 'm fanciful but I don't have the creative genius of a real artist. I vvuld like ta, try some of those things. - -------- ------------------ --------------------- - Sugaring Off at Purpie Woods As te harshness of wnter tion of, the maple syrur cames to a close, the anticipa- season is now upon us.
