Canada appoints the coolest ministry in the world

Justin Trudeau has just taken over as Canada's prime minister fulfilling one of his major campaign promises: to divide cabinet posts equally between men and women - are 15 of each. And turned hit global social networks to answer why this decision was important to him with a "because we are in 2015.":watch

The campaign promise of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was to form a ministry with half women and half men. But it was far beyond gender equality ...



What not everyone learned is that gender equality was only one of Trudeau agendas in the ministry of the composition. The newly appointed governor favored, an even broader spectrum, social and national diversity of Canada - a land of immigrants and proud of this label - in picking who would work over the next four years.


To give an idea of the reform carried out by Trudeau, freely translate an analysis of ministerial composition (very informal and fun)


- Our Minister of Science is a scientist (oh, and she has a Nobel Prize)

- Our Minister of Transport is an astronaut.

- Our Sports Minister and People with Disabilities is a Paralympic athlete

- Our Minister for Families, Children and Social Development is an economist who studies poverty

- Our Minister for Women's Rights is a woman

- Our Minister of Democratic Institutions is a Muslim refugee

- Two of the ministers are of native peoples (of the Kwakwaka'wakw and Inuit ethnic groups)


- There are also ministers with various beliefs (or disbelief): Sikh, Muslim, atheist etc.


radical renewal

Despite being the son of another former prime minister of Canada - Pierre Trudeau, who had two terms from 1968 to 1984 -, Justin represents a new blast in the country's politics. The guy has been actor and teacher, is reportedly feminist and fond of science fiction. In addition, it is very media: married with a TV celebrity, has led the political struggle to blows, to face a Conservative rival, Patrick Brazeau in a charity boxing match, broadcast live.


Most recently transmitted via Periscope, the oath in office as prime minister, took selfies with voters on the subway so the election result was announced and turns and moves personally responds to comments made by citizens on Facebook. No wonder that the hashtag #DaddyTrudeau turned hit among Canadians.
