We can all change the world according to Justin Trudeau.
The son of the former Canadian Prime Minister was in Owen Sound yesterday talking about “youth engagement and community involvement.”
Justin Trudeau says we need to start thinking about the impacts our actions have on this planet.
Trudeau gave an inspirational talk to hundreds of students and adults yesterday at the OSCVI on how each of us has the power to improve our communities by getting involved and making a difference.
Trudeau says his talk with the students reminded him of how extraordinary our young people are.
He says they are willing to look for solutions and put themselves on the line in order to change the world.
Trudeau says its hard to fathom that we as Canadians can make a difference.
He says while the United States, Russia and China are bigger than Canada — we do have a role and can make a dent.
Trudeau says we need to understand the innovative solutions we can bring to the table in terms of technology, social justice and multi-culturalism.
Trudeau says the world used to look to Canada as an example to follow, adding we need to get back to that point.
Trudeau says he will work to make a difference if and when he becomes a MP.
He truly believes a difference can be made and is willing to put his personal and family life on the line to go into politics.
The visit by Trudeau was sponsored by the Mental Health Crisis Line of Grey and Bruce.
Trudeau says the issue of mental health is near and dear to him.
His mother, Margaret suffers from bi-polar disorder.
Trudeau says it feels great to follow in his mothers footsteps in working to remove the stigma around mental illness.
