for people of my generation, PM Trudeau Sr.'s post-1968 election cycle presents a template for all subsequent Trudeaus: 
first elected with great fanfare and enthusiasm, a new face, new policies; some policies offend regular-guy type voters, spawning Western and other resentment; revolt grows through early 1970s (with founding of the Suns and their op-ed gawkers, among others); attempt at easy Liberal re-election turns to fiasco, even vs. colourless (but clearly honest)  Conservative leader ;
PM Trudeau humiliated, seeks penance in minority Govt with NDP support .... 

But then, history never repeats itself.
