ICYMI, Canada elected a new prime minister yesterday. Presumably, they too had elections and debates and even controversy –– but none of that matters anymore because OMG have you SEEN their new PM?
Picture provided for your, ahem, pleasure.
But wait. It gets better. Brand spanking new Canadian PM Justin Trudeau is a roaring liberal AND a self-proclaimed pro-choice feminist. In the magical land of Canada, where healthcare grows on trees and maple syrup runs through the streets, 43-year-old liberal feminists can beat out conservative assholes to seize power. Granted, they are liberal feminist MEN, but it's still a step forward.
Despite Trudeau's youthful hotness, he is by no means a political outsider. In fact, he is the son of a former Canadian prime minister, so he's basically the equivalent of Chelsea Clinton (who, by the way, should definitely run for president someday). Here in America, the father-child pairs we've got are Bush Sr. and Bush Jr. (and bonus Bush, just in case you, like the rest of America, forgot that Jeb! was running for president). Boo.
Trudeau beat out incumbent conservative good-Canadian-policy-wrecker Stephen Harper and we can now breathe easy knowing that our neighbors to the north are in such, uh, good hands. Slow clap, Canada.
