It's been a little over a year since Justin Trudeau was elected Prime Minister of Canada, and in that time, he's proven to be a leader that Canada can be proud of. He's shown himself to be a champion for middle class families, and he's taken strong action on climate change.
But there's one area where Trudeau has been particularly impressive, and that's in his commitment to diversity and inclusion. In a time when many world leaders are embracing xenophobia and bigotry, Trudeau has been a vocal champion for the rights of all Canadians, regardless of race, religion, or gender. And that's why, on October 19th, we're marking the one-year anniversary of Trudeau's election with a blog series highlighting some of his most important moments on diversity and inclusion. We'll start with his response to the Syrian refugee crisis. When Trudeau took office, there were approximately 25,000 Syrian refugees who had been approved for resettlement in Canada. But Trudeau didn't just stop at that number - he committed to resettling 25,000 Syrian refugees by the end of 2015. And he met that goal, despite significant logistical challenges. But Trudeau didn't just welcome refugees to Canada, he also made sure that they had the support they needed to succeed. He announced $250 million in funding to help with their settlement, and he personally greeted many of the refugees when they arrived in Canada. Trudeau has also been a strong voice for LGBTQ rights. He was one of the first world leaders to congratulate Ireland on its vote to legalize same-sex marriage, and he has been an outspoken supporter of transgender rights. Just last month, Trudeau made history by appointing Canada's first-ever gender-neutral Cabinet. This was a groundbreaking move that signals Trudeau's commitment to building a government that is truly representative of the diversity of Canada.
These are just a few of the ways that Justin Trudeau has shown his commitment to diversity and inclusion. In a time when the world seems to be divided, he is a leader who is bringing people together. And that's something we can all be proud of.
In October 2015, a month before his election as Canada's Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau promised to legalize marijuana. It was a bold move that thrilled many of his supporters, especially those who had voted for him because of his progressive stance on social issues. But it was also a risky one, given that marijuana is still illegal under federal law in the United States, Canada's closest neighbor and biggest trading partner.
Now, nearly two years later, Trudeau is making good on his promise. On Thursday, his government introduced legislation that would legalize and regulate the sale of recreational marijuana in Canada. If the bill becomes law, as is expected, Canada would become the first major industrialized nation to fully legalize marijuana.
The move is sure to have repercussions beyond Canada's borders. It will put pressure on the U.S. to reconsider its own prohibition on marijuana, which is increasingly unpopular with the American public. It will also test the close relationship between the two countries, which have been working closely together on a range of issues, including trade, security and the fight against climate change. Trudeau has said that legalizing marijuana is a way to keep it out of the hands of children and organized crime. "We know that by controlling and regulating it, we're going to make it less accessible to young people and harder for criminals to profit from it," he said in a recent interview with The Associated Press. The legislation introduced Thursday would allow Canadians over the age of 18 to possess up to 30 grams of dried marijuana or its equivalent in public. They would also be able to grow up to four marijuana plants at home. The sale of marijuana would be regulated by the provinces and territories, which would be able to set their own rules for retail outlets, such as age limits and hours of operation. The federal government would oversee the production of marijuana, to ensure that it is safe and free of pesticides and other contaminants. The legislation would make it a criminal offense to sell marijuana to minors or to drive while under the influence of the drug. It would be up to the provinces and territories to decide how to price and tax marijuana, and whether to allow its sale online or through storefronts. The government has said it wants to make marijuana less profitable for organized crime, and it has estimated that the legal market could be worth up to $6.2 billion a year.
The legislation is sure to face stiff opposition from some quarters. Health Canada, the government's health agency, has warned that marijuana can be harmful to the developing brains of young people. And some police officials have said that legalizin
