Development Assistance and Governance Initiative

Relations [between Canada and the United States] are very deep no matter who’s in power, but when you have these two leaders, [President Obama and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau], who seem to see the world in similar ways and get along at a personal level, it creates a wide highway at many levels.

There's a very palpable sense in Canada that this wasn't just a change of government, this was a change of generation. The Liberal Party won the election, but it wasn't going back to the old Liberal Party. This was a new generation in that party.
