Vandals deface family crypt of Pierre Elliott Trudeau

Sunday, Apr 27, 2008 

A woman in the tiny farming community of Saint-Rémi, Quebec, south of Montreal visited the local cemetery Saturday and received a rude shock. Graffitied on former Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Eliott Trudeau's family crypt were "FLQ", the initials of the Front de libération du Québec and the French words for "traitor" and "bastard" in black spray-paint. 
“It's very sad,” said Pierre Sauriol, whose organization maintains the graveyard. “He made errors and good decisions like everyone, but he was one of the prime ministers of Canada, and he should rest in peace.” 
Trudeau, who served as Canada's prime minister from 1968-79 and again in 1980-84, was a controversial figure in the history of Quebec.
