Justin Trudeau Makes a Stop in Cranbrook

Justin Trudeau stopped the bus in Cranbrook yesterday Sunday July 21st, to connect with people of the area.  A large crowd was on hand to welcome him and despite the high temperatures many stood in the blazing heat to listen to his every word.

Mr Trudeau paid tribute to this area where he and his brothers spent many happy hours hiking when they were young.

He fondly remembered his paddle down the Kootenay with his father Pierre and he gave credit to the Neidermeyers for not just their hockey skills but for their stand on protecting parts of this area which are so important to the world.  Justin Trudeau's speech obviously resonated well with the crowd as he talked about why so many are turned off politics because of the negative campaigning and the vicious circle that it can and has become. 

Many of the things he had to say were reminiscent of another politician in this Province who tried recently to win on positive campaigning.  Let's hope this young and charismatic politician wearing ripped jeans and a healthy smile can succeed where others have not in bringing back the respect and honour to a profession that surely needs it.

and a winning smile!
