Craig Allan Staff Writer

n September 11, Prime Minister Justin OTrudeau met with Governor General Julie Payette to declare dissolving of parliament and the official start of the 2019 Canadian Federal Election campaign. As Canada enters another federal election, the world has changed significantly since the previous election four years earlier. 2015 was a very different time when Trudeau beat Progressive Conservative Party leader Stephen Harper to lead the country. The concept of the United Kingdom leaving the European Union was still unlikely, and the prospect of Donald Trump being president of the United States was still laughable cannon fodder. Four years on, and those ideas are now reality. With a changing world and changing ideas, Canada’s political parties will be tested on how they can galvanize the Canadian voters into electing their party to possibly lead the next four years. When Trudeau won back in 2015, he was the leader of change. Squeaky clean compared to his nine-year predecessor in Harper. However, with four years as Canada’s leader, Trudeau’s reputation is not as shiny as it once was. Between the SNC-Lavalin scandal, his trip to India, and his government backing the twinning of the Trans Mountain Pipeline, things have changed for him. With Trudeau’s less than stellar reputation, the rise of populism, and more right-leaning governments established in the United States, Britain , Brazil, and other major democracies, Trudeau hopes to stem the tide; advertising himself as a steady ship and pointing to the policies he has made that have helped improve the lives of Canadians over the last four years. Trudeaus main competition will be Conservative Party leader Andrew Scheer. Scheer claimed the Conservative Party leadership after winning a tight race between him and leadership hopeful Maxime Bernier, who would later defect from the party and start his own, the People’s Party of Canada. Scheer is trying to place himself as the alternative to Trudeau’s policies. However, many are worried about Scheer on issues like abortion and gay rights —due to his statements on gay marriage in 2005 and Bui Billy by Photo his statement to CityNews on abortion that comprehensive climate action plans that ground for his party this time around it analyst Éric Grenier’s Poll Tracker indicates “[he] will not be bringing forward motions include committees and funding for low could spell disaster for the party.

An example of this is the Nogizaka 46: “Sing Out!” band Official HIGE DANdism which went The female idol groups make mainstream last year with this music video. songs that get anybody hyped.

Painting The Walls Morgan Hannah Life & Style Editor

am sitting here, watching you paint the trim of our first apartment together. We finally settled on cotton white Iwith an accent wall in bead glass blue. The afternoon sun blankets you in light, softening your features, and fading your Pink Floyd T-shirt—bought new with the intention of it wrinkling and ageing over time to look just like it came from the '80s. I remember when you bought it, you told me it's supposed to be the t-shirt I wear in the mornings when we're drinking coffee together, how it should just barely cover my butt. At least, that's how they portray it in the movies, but I'm not a tiny girl and you're not a big guy, so that wouldn't work for us. All our furniture has been pushed into the center of the room and the walls lined with that bright florescent green frog tape. Some ripped up plastic bags to protect the plastic floors. We've been here for almost half a decade, and yet we've only collected a blue leather reclining sofa with a small rip in the side that faces the wall, a couple of tables in varying heights, two bookshelves filled full of my books and your CD's, my antique blue steamer chest from the '40s, and your forty-five inch plasma TV. It's enough. Though bare now, the walls usually hold our imaginations trapped on canvas—we've both got paint for blood. I remember when we first moved into our apartment. Everything looked so clean and modern. We were about four years newer; me with my thicker thighs, curly hair, and bigger arms clinging to your side—an endless eccentricity and smile painted across my round face. And you, all pale, blond, and built like a fine drum, stuffed into graphic tees and jeans. Beside us was our competition—a family of three, originally from Czechoslovakia with sombre grey coats and drawn faces. The little girl couldn't have been older than nine. But it was a one-bedroom, no patio, and in the end, it was your job that got us the place.
