Canada's 5th Prime Minister, Conservative, leader of the #BowellMovement, author of the Bowell Sovereignty Act. My pronoun is Sir because I'm a knight.
I’m delighted to share that “Here For Canada: Memoirs of the 22nd Prime Minister” is now officially released. It was an honour to serve our country, the best country in the world, with an incredible team of colleagues and I am pleased to share my account of those years.

Relatively normal and likeable dude replaces deeply unpleasant and polarizing political animal as leader of conservative party and wins massively, in what is surely a fluke one-off with no broader meaning or significance that anyone should pay attention to or ponder in any way.
"I have imbibed the air, spirit, and enthusiasm of the West. I am a true Westerner henceforth; nay I should say a Canadian, for we must in future aim to know West and East only in emulation of doing more for Canada, our common country.”
Wilfrid Laurier, 1910
