On Monday night, New Canadian Prime Minister-assign Justin Trudeau gave a moving victory speech to an upbeat Liberal crowd. On the other hand, he spared his most intense message for the very end.
Trudeau started his almost 25-minute acknowledgment discourse in French, saying thanks to his supporters, family, companions and, obviously, his wife. He discussed his rivals, his vision for Canada and after that, around the end, he shared a story that pulled at everybody's heartstrings.
"There are a thousand stories I could share with you from this remarkable campaign," Trudeau told the hushed crowd. "But I want you to think about one in particular. Last week, I met a young mom in St. Catharines, Ont. She practices the Muslim faith and was wearing a hijab. She made her way through the crowd and handed me her infant daughter. And as she leaned forward, she whispered something to me that I will never forget. She said she's voting for us because she wants to make sure that her little girl has the right to make her own choices in life and that the government would protect those rights."
Right then and there, the group ejected in commendation, cheers and started droning "Justin, Justin, Justin."
What's more, on Tuesday, Trudeau's Principal Advisor Gerald Butts tweeted a photograph of that exact second in St. Catharines with the hashtag #RealChange.
