October 21, 2015
Well, better late than never...


Office of RG @OfficeOfRG tweets: "Congratulations @JustinTrudeau and the Liberal Party of Canada for the resounding victory in elections.Wishing you & your team the very best.


Canadian voters elected Liberal Party leader Justin Trudeau as their new prime minister on Monday night, significantly ending the nine-year government of Stephen Harper. The election was said to be the closest in the country's history.


Just in the last three weeks, the centre-left Liberals led by Justin -- the son of former prime minister Pierre Trudeau -- surged into the lead. Trudeau has said that he will repair Canada's cool relations with United States President Barack Obama's administration, withdraw Canada from the combat mission against Islamic State militants in favour of humanitarian aid, and tackle climate change.
