He was born on April 28, 1838, in Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pérade, Mauricie.
Member of the legislature
Trudel was elected as a Conservative candidate to the provincial legislature in the district of Champlain in 1871. He co-authored the Programme Catholique and was an Ultramontanist. He did not run for re-election in 1875.
Senator
He was appointed to the Canadian Senate in 1873. He joined Honoré Mercier's Parti National for a short period of time, but eventually became Conservative again.
Personal life
On April 27, 1864, in Montreal, Trudel wed Marie-Zoé-Aimée, the only daughter of Louis Renaud. At his death, he left four children (three others had died during his lifetime). The eldest, Henri-Louis-François-Xavier-Édouard, became editor of L’Étendard when his father passed away. His widow, with whom he had had differences in public during their marriage, outlived him by 25 years, dying on April 24, 1915.[2]
