While the rest of the world is stuck with bald, pot-bellied, corrupt and controversial politicians, Canada has a high school teacher turned boxer turned politician. The man is the entire package – looks, intellect, compassion, strength, optimism, unprejudiced views, a sunny personality and tons of charms. All this is enough to leave us jealous and yearning.
Here are some quotes by Canadian President, Justin Trudeau, that will get you fangirling over him like Ivanka Trump.

2. Justin Pierre James Trudeau
(born December 25, 1971) is a Canadia
n politician. He is the 23rd and current
Prime Minister of Canada. The second
youngest Prime Minister after Joe Clark,
he is also, as the eldest son of former
Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, the first
to be related to a previous holder of
the post.
3. I am a teacher. It's how I define
myself. A good teacher isn't
someone who gives the answers
out to their kids but is
understanding of needs and
challenges and gives tools to help
other people succeed. That's the
way I see myself, so whatever it is
that I will do eventually after
politics, it'll have to do a lot with
teaching.
4. I had to learn to dismiss people who would
criticize me based on nothing, but I also had to
learn not to believe the people who would
compliment me and think I was great based on
nothing. And that led me to have a very, very
strong sense of myself and my strengths.
5. I had to learn to dismiss people who would

d to learn not to believe the people who
would compliment me and think I was g
reat based on nothing. And that led me to
have a very, very strong sense of myself a
nd my strengths.
6. Nobody's life is a bed of roses.
And regardless of how the
situation is, you go through
ups and downs, and they end
up defining you.
8. And by the way —we
shouldn’t be afraid of the
word ‘feminist.’ Men and
women should use it to
describe themselves anytime
they want.
9. My idea of freedom is that
we should protect the
rights of people to believe
what their conscience
dictates, but fight equally
hard to protect people
from having the beliefs of
others imposed upon
them.
10. I look at what I have as a
challenge and I could list a
whole bunch of different
challenges. And I choose not to
be daunted by any of them.
11. To those fleeing
persecution, terror and
war, Canadians will
welcome you, regardless
of your faith. Diversity is
our strength.
12. A country can be great
not in spite of its
diversity, but because of
its diversity. When
people come together to
create opportunities for
one another, the dreams
we hold in common will
crowd out the fears that
would divide us.
13. It is a cruel joke to claim you are
liberating people from oppression
by dictating in law what they can
and cannot wear.
14. As a father, I want to know my
daughter will have the same
opportunities as my sons.
15. Canada is a country strong
not in spite of our
differences but because of
them.
16. You cannot let yourself be
defined by the hopes that
you will fulfill the darkest
wishes of your opponents.
17. People think that boxing is all
about how hard you can hit your
opponent. It's not. Boxing is about
how hard a hit you can take and
keep going.
18. When my father died, I had millions of people
supporting me in a very, very difficult time. I
have received so much from this country. I
realize that we're defined in life not by what
we get from this world but by what we have to
offer it, and I know that I have a lot to offer
this country, and I'm serious about devoting
my life to it.
