Encourage Canadian Bobsled Teams to Name Their Sled 'Justin' or 'Trudeau'


Encourage Canadian Bobsled Teams to Name Their Sled 'Justin' or 'Trudeau'
The Issue
I, like many other Canadians, have had to watch as our country grapples with various challenges. For me, nothing has brought this country downhill faster than our current political climate, a sentiment I believe is encapsulated symbolically when our bobsled teams hurtle down the icy slopes in international competitions.
In the spirit of this metaphor - albeit with a touch of humour, I propose we throw conventions to the wind and suggest one of our Canadian bobsled teams name their sled 'Justin' or 'Trudeau' - after our current Prime Minister. This gesture may not change our nation's course but it will surely bring a smile or a chuckle even to the lips of those with differing political views. In case you didn't know, Canada has a rich history in bobsleigh. The sport was included in the first Winter Olympics in 1924 and Canada has since won several Olympic medals in it (source: CBC).
In a way, this petition is our collective luging into the fray, our determined sprint on a slippery slope. Let this stand as a testament to our Canadian spirit - to honour, to question, and to jest even in the face of headwinds that seem as cold as our wintry slopes. Please sign to support this move. After all, even on the fastest downhill route, we Canadians know how to have fun.
