I find myself walking around the lovely Hatley Castle lately.
You may recognize it as Xavier’s Institute of Higher Learning from X-men. Sadly Wolverine hasn’t ever been here when I was.
Many of the students here have been calling it Hogwarts – in keeping with that theme I feel like something magical happened while I was here.
Voldemort, I mean Harper, has been defeated! 
I guess that makes Justin Trudeau, our new Prime Minister, Harry Potter?
I would have loved a government that was more leftist than centrist, but the #anyonebutharper campaign was a success and for that I’m grateful.
Mr Trudeau has a lot of work ahead of him to fix everything that Harper broke over his 10 year reign. But I’m hopeful that he can affect real change… He certainly has a lot to chose from;
- Re-protect our waterways
- Reinstate real environmental protection
- Un-muzzle scientists
- First Nations rights
- Take care of our veterans
- Make us peacekeepers again
Seriously the list could go on and on… Trudeau, good luck restoring our once proud reputation as a country. I know you can do it.
