A "100 days" report card on our new Prime Minister

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau campaigned largely on a feel-good message. "Sunny ways", became his motto. The composition of his cabinet -  50% of whom are women, "because it's 2015", signaled a tonal change in the nation's capital. In the weeks and months that followed his election, our young, handsome prime minister and his telegenic family have created an international buzz about Canada that we haven't seen since the days of his father.

One day before last fall's election, we invited four people from across the country to reflect on the long campaign, and to tell us their expectations of a new prime minister. Now that we are 100 days into the Trudeau government, we reconvene our panel, to assess the new government's performance so far.
