CANADA HAS A NEW PRIME MINISTER.

I repeat.

CANADA HAS A NEW PRIME MINISTER.

Stephen Harper single-handedly enraged a country of pacifists enough to make voter turnout unprecedented. A campaign of fearmongering and hate speech wasn’t enough to stifle the voices of Canadians from coast to coast to coast.

When Justin Trudeau was named prime minister elect of Canada, I got emotional.

When Justin Trudeau was announced to have the required 170 seats in the House of Commons for a majority government, I cried.

I’ll never forget today. The time of unprotected waterways, muzzling scientists, hate speech, fearmongering, racism, and collapsing economies is over.

No matter what happens from here on out, it can’t possibly be worse than Harper.

“In Canada, better is always possible.”

 

Today, I am even more proud to call this big, beautiful bitch my home.

Je suis canadienne!
