So, an interesting mix of opinions. Personally, i'm fine with what's been accomplished thus far, even if some of the ongoing process for certain proposals and plans have been glacial. The gender parity cabinet, the investigation of the missing Aboriginal women, the increase in refugees taken in (even if it took longer than intended), to say nothing of the ongoing efforts to improve relationships between the indigenous population and federal government, the and taking the first steps toward the legalization of marijuana are all positives in my book. That said, there's a part of me that's still bitter that Trudeau and several Liberal MPs originally voted for Bill C-51 and are only repealing specific parts rather than the act in its entirety and the confusing slew of news in regards to electoral reform over the past few weeks or so have shown that there's still a lot of work to be done in regards to some of the promises Trudeau and his party have made. I'm also a might disappointed that the blood donation ban's ending was merely a shortening of its term and that he hasn't condemned what Drumpf has said, albeit this is understandable since I imagine that, in the slim chance that if Don becomes president, Trudeau doesn't want to start things off poorly by having to deal with Drumpf's 3 A.M. tweets about Trudeau not being as golden as his father or something). It might have been a slow first year but there's been enough notable accomplishments to provide hope that the next four will deliver even greater, more positive changes for the country.
In short...i'm glad Harper's gone.
