<Paul Martin's> earliest introduction to politics came while travelling around the riding on weekends with his father. Paul Sr., who would serve under four prime ministers, argued in favour of social programs such as medicare and reform of old-age security. Paul Sr., in his memoirs, calls his son "high spirited" and talks about being at a loss as to how to harness his son's energies. He recalls finding out that his son pitched stones at the Soviet Embassy during the height of the Cold War. The incident embarrassed him. Martin says he was just reacting to the political climate of the time.
