After a very dramatic election, Justin Trudeau, a native to Ottawa, Ontario, swept Canada's Parliament with 39.5 percent of national votes, according to the New York Times. With New Democrats facing off in the battle for the Prime Minister seat, multiple other parties drew votes to new places, leading the Liberal party to the position.

Following the nine year term of Stephen Harper, Trudeau has much to live up to in his campaign promises, including the legalization of marijuana and the withdrawal of Canadian forces from the American-led force in Islamic countries. The British Broadcasting Company (BBC) reported on Harper's downfall, citing that "There is a fine line between being cautious and conservative, and being mean." BBC also mentions how Trudeau picks up the pieces that Harper didn't bother with. Where Harper failed to provide his campaign promise to add transparency to Canada's government, Trudeau picks this up and plans to keep his promise.

Among his other promises, Trudeau wants to reform the Canadian voting system. He expects to form an all-party committee to create a new system. Currently, Canada has a first-past-the-post system, which means the winner is one who gets past the majority of voters first. TIME Magazine states that this system is ineffective towards the three Liberal parties, as opposed to the Conservative party.

Trudeau has had a copious amount of opposition during his 78 day campaign, the majority of which came from his age. At 43 years of age, Trudeau will be the second-youngest prime minister in history. However, he is not a nobody. His father Pierre Trudeau held Prime Minister from 1968-1974. This gave him a political foothold in the world of politics.

Speaking of politics, and to mention the picture, Trudeau strengthened his political foothold by boxing Conservative party Senator Patrick Brazeau in 2012 for charity.

The way politics are going, the climate could radically change for the Western world, as the election of Canada came to a close and the United States' has its ball rolling. Considering Canada has no term limits, this could go either way, so we shall wait with bated breath to see how the political conquests of both countries get along.
