Justin Trudeau is a Canadian politician.

He was born on December 25,

1971, the son of the then-Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau and Margaret
Trudeau. Educated at McGill University and the University of British
Columbia, he worked as a teacher before going into politics. He was
elected to the Canadian Parliament as a Liberal Party candidate in the
2008 federal election, representing the Papineau riding (located in
Montreal), and was re-elected in 2011. In 2013, he was elected the
leader of the Liberal Party.
In the run up to the 2015 Canadian federal election, Justin Trudeau
was subject to a long running negative campaign by the Conservative
Party that painted him as a intellectual lightweight pretty boy who had
no business in politics. However, that campaign backfired by lowering
the public expectations of him until he was able to easily impress the
public with his passionate and articulate intelligence and charisma with
his first televised election debate. With an appealing left wing
campaign platform that stole a march from the rival New Democratic
Party, Trudeau was able to win a majority government for his party, a
very rare Canadian feat for a third place party to leap to first place to
form a government.
