TORONTO (AP) — Justin Trudeau was sworn in Wednesday as Canada's prime minister, following in the footsteps of his storied father and restoring his nation's liberal identity after almost 10 years of Conservative rule under Stephen Harper.
The 43-year-old Trudeau, a former school teacher and member of Parliament since 2008, on Wednesday became the second youngest prime minister in Canadian history.
He is the son of late Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, who swept to office in 1968 on a wave of support dubbed "Trudeaumania." He was prime minister until 1984 with a short interruption and remains one of the few Canadian politicians known in America, his charisma often drawing comparisons to John F. Kennedy.

The new prime minister now has the chance to restore his father's Liberal legacy, which has been under siege under Harper.

Beautiful family today, the Trudeaus with the new govt. cabinet. I remember the press about his famous father and Margaret as a kid.
Love the Remembrance Day Red Poppy boutonnieres, like cockades.
