On Monday, October 19, Canadians elected a majority Liberal government led by a handsome, young politician with a famous last name. Justin Trudeau, Canada’s new Prime Minister, is the 43 year old son of Pierre Elliot Trudeau (1919-2000), one of Canada’s better known world figures and a former Prime Minister for 16 years from 1968 to 1984. The young Trudeau has become a global celebrity in his own right almost instantly after his Party’s stunning electoral victory. His victory speech capped off a campaign of optimism and for change, promising "sunny ways" like Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Canada’s Prime Minister a hundred years ago, and invoking "the better angels of our nature" as Abraham Lincoln did fifty years before that.
