Emmanuel Mounier, the French Catholic personalist and founder of Esprit, had taught Trudeau to “see, judge, act.” It was now the time to act.

That summer, Trudeau began to encounter workers directly for the first time since his brief stint in the Sullivan mines in Abitibi seven years previously and his 1949 foray to Asbestos. Yet, theoretically, he and the Cité libre group had decided it was the workers who, through democratic means, were the best hope to overthrow the Duplessis regime and give birth to a modern, secular Quebec state whose leaders would be young francophone intellectuals like themselves. Trudeau was well prepared to act as the major players took their place in the public forum. His training as a lawyer and an economist provided him with the tools to take apart many of the arguments of the Duplessis government and the conservative nationalists, and he did so with a rapier that often cut quickly and deeply.
