I realize Justin Trudeau, having survived childbirth, kept his father's name, and inherited his mother's hair, good looks and dramatic delivery, is now our prime minister.

So I understand when he is asked questions about government intentions, in this case whether the government intends to remove the Conservative father of our country Sir John A. MacDonald's name from federal buildings as it has done in removing his name and likeness from the $10 bill starting in 2018.  (An unconfirmed rumour is the government might put MacDonald on the $100 or the $50 as these denominations are rarely seen or used by Canadians and so this would help to historically marginalize a great Conservative leader.) 

But I can't help feeling annoyed that someone of Trudeau 2.0's anorexic qualifications has the power to remove MacDonald from the currency or  buildings or anything else that Canadians can see and thereby stay in touch with those who laid the foundations of this great country.

Is it just me?
