When Justin Trudeau announced his campaign for Canadian Liberal Party leader, many old enough to remember, reminisced upon Trudeaumania that swept across this nation in 1968. Although Pierre Trudeau ran such an influential campaign and remains in the hearts’ of many Canadians, Justin has tried to separate himself from his father’s history and actions.
Few are able to meet influential celebrities and politicians from across the world. Justin was able to grow up among these high stature individuals and now has the opportunity to use these experiences to lead an ailing party. It has arguably been 44 years since an even like Trudeaumania has affected Canada, and during a time in which the consumer confidence is low and the economy continues to recover, Canada could greatly benefit from a revitalizing young man.
Justin stated in a Huffington Post article, “our challenge, simply put, is to restore the simple promise to Canadian society.” Justin may be the perfect candidate for Prime Minister, even though he is premature compared to other candidates. Canadian politics needs a new face. During the recent American election, many voters stated they were voting for the least bad candidate. We don’t want this to happen in Canada. Vote Trudeau!
