Trudeau flying to Bermuda to deliver eulogy for Peter Green, the businessman behind PM’s luxury trip to Jamaica

The Trudeau family’s long history of friendship with the Greens includes Pierre Trudeau speaking at Green’s wife’s funeral in 1990

Who is Peter Green, the businessman behind Trudeau’s luxury trip to Jamaica?

The Trudeaus and the Greens have a long history of friendship dating back to the 1970s. Pierre Trudeau spoke at Mary-Jean’s funeral. Alexander Green also gave a reading at Pierre Trudeau’s funeral in 2000.

The elder Trudeau “was godfather to one of their kids, their father was godfather to one of my brothers. This is 50 years of friendship,” Justin Trudeau said in the House of Commons this year, responding to questions about a trip to Green’s Prospect Estate resort in Jamaica last year.
