A Simple Question, a Bigger Reflection
Last week, my kids, Terry, and I were sitting around the table eating dinner - a pasta bake, if I remember correctly. We were talking about Justin Trudeau, Canada’s Prime Minister, stepping down. It’s a big deal for our country, but in the grand scheme of world events, it's probably a small deal elsewhere. O, my oldest, asked who would be Prime Minister next, sparking a discussion about the process - internal voting, elections, and so on. They asked if anyone could be Prime Minister, and I explained, “Of course. You just have to be 18 and a Canadian citizen.” At which point, Z, my youngest, chimed in, “Well, why don’t you just do it then, Mom?”
