I love listening to the CBC.  It's been gutted in the past few years, and I feel this is a big hit to our culture in Canada.  We should be trying to keep up with entities like the BBC, not trying to privatize everything in sight.

Dad's desk is back.

 

 

Canada's new prime minister has made a lot of changes in his first month in office, but CBC News has learned Justin Trudeau has also brought a bit of history back to Parliament Hill.

The desk his father used as prime minister for more than 15 years was retrieved from storage for the younger Trudeau to use.

Among the mementos in Justin Trudeau's office is another famous picture, the one in which his father is carrying him under his arm, rather like a football, past a saluting Mountie.
