A biography for Sophie Gregoire Trudeauhasn’t been written yet.
“My daily life is mostly spent with my three kids and raising them.”
“My kids ask me questions on what I do and I'm very honest with them.”
“Am I completely indifferent to criticism? No, not at all. But I know who I am and I have learned to respect and care for who I am.”
“I don't want my kids to be raised thinking they'll get into a park and people applaud.”
“We tell girls to be themselves, but then they have role models - sometimes too many role models - in popular culture who incarnate that kind of disconnectedness from oneself. We are taught to self-hate; we are taught to doubt. Our culture doesn't help us recognize ourselves as amazing beings without changing ourselves.”
“Through fashion, it's possible to express deep values of one's creative talent and also the values that are expected of society.”
“We know that we're fortunate. We have a wonderful life and it is an honour for us to be of service, and every single day dedicated to helping others and making this society and this country a better place for more people.”
“I have three kids, I'm an active person, and we keep things real, and you've got to focus on the positive.”
“If we don't think that men and boys are part of the solution in this battle for gender equality for the balance between who we are as humans, we're undermining their minds and their spirits. They need to be part of the equation.”
“I think not only Canada but the world as a whole is called upon to really choose leaders who can generate unity and compassion throughout the world. This is how you find peace, right?”
“We're liberals, so quitting is not an option. We will push through the hard days so we can celebrate together on the good ones.”
“Sometimes, I would like to be alone in the woods and run and roll on the ground and play with my kids. And I do, and that's what keeps me grounded.”
“Canada knows that for a society to be prosperous and more just and more peaceful, women and girls must be educated.”
“There is no doubt that women and children on this planet are the people who suffer the most on many levels... Lots of boys around this planet are being taught right now that girls are lesser than them. This is toxic to everybody, and boys deserve better.”
“I'm an extrovert - a social being.”
“Patience for me is a big thing. Patience with others. Patience with the way the world is evolving. I have a sense of urgency because I want to help out so much.”
“I don't make much of comparisons in general, it's not how I think people construct themselves and I don't think it's a healthy way of dealing with your own reality.”
“The differences that separate human beings are nothing compared to the similarities that bond us together.”
“The future kind of gets less intimidating when you're the one shaping it.”
“I do agree that Justin has integrity, honesty and amazing judgment, but sometimes I think he's just maybe too sensitive, and that's kind of scary.”
