OTTAWA — The much-vaunted charisma of Prime Minister Trudeau has even touched Beatle John Lennon.

“I think he’s a beautiful person,” Lennon said, standing’outside Trudeau’s office today after he and his wife Yoko finished an hour-long chat with the prime minister.

“lf all politicians were like Trudeau, there would be world peace,” he said. ‘‘You don’t know how lucky you are in Canada.”

The long-haired, bearded, black-cloaked British pop singer is in Canada on a Christmas mission to promote peace.
