    Canada's new Prime Minister is a member of Clan Sinclair!

    NOTE: POLITICAL COMMENTS WILL BE FLAGGED!

    Just thought that our Sinclair kilties about the globe might not know that Canadian Prime Minister Elect Justin Trudeau's mother is Margaret Sinclair and might be pleased to know it.

    The new PM also has Scottish roots on his father's side - his paternal grandmother was an Elliot with Scottish ancestry.

    I thought he was of entirely French-Canadian ancestry on his father's side. You learn something new every day!

    To be perfectly honest, in 2015, I hardly think that anyone's ancestry on either side is entirely anything.

    Padre.... I have yet to meet the individual that is able to change his/her ancestry, what ever it is? 😉
