John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s 1969 peace campaign came to a close in December 1969 following a meeting with Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau. It was the only time Lennon and Ono were able to take their peace campaign directly to a world leader. When they emerged from their meeting, Lennon noted to a reporter, “If all politicians were like Mr. Trudeau, there would be world peace.”
