Anyone Know The True Context of This Photo? 🌀

[inphiknit]

I would like to confirm who this is, and know the context of the photo.

Does anyone remember, and are you willing to re-tell the story that was told when the image first appeared? I never heard it, and finding details seems to be difficult... Thanks^^

Have you searched the photo in Google photo search??? Sorry if it seems obvious but not every one knows u can.

I did and seems to possibly be future prime minister Pierre Trudeau...

According to biographers Max Nemni and Monique Nemni, authors of Young Trudeau: 1919-1944: Son of Quebec, Father of Canada, the motorcycle/helmet story “has as many variants as there are storytellers, each embroidering freely on the known facts.” Credible sources do seem to agree, however, that young Pierre and his friend Roger Rolland (1921-2011) played a prank in 1942 that involved dressing up in European military uniforms and riding around on their motorbikes.

However I assume you knew this?

Yeah. Thank you. That's the problem, the story is old and has many variants.

Prussian helmet, nazi uniform, etc.

The searching led me to other credible info though, a scapegoating, anti-Jewish play supposedly written by P.E. Trudeau in his school days, named in French; "Dupés." (Duped, or The Duped.)

It is known and publicized, with dates, school performed at, etc, but... I can't find the script itself, so far... (I may put out another call similar to this post about finding the play.)

Either way, it seems like it may explain a few decisions around here...

Thanks^^

Ok very good, that's a good start, thank you!

A quick search with those terms doesn't (yet) yield info about this specific image and person, but I'll see what I can find.

Thanks^^
