Trudeau the runaway choice for Canada’s Newsmaker of the Year

Posted in Featured, Talking Politics

Published on December 31, 2015 with 75 Comments

 It’s been quite the year for Justin Trudeau.

He scored a stunning come-from-behind election victory, became the first offspring of a prime minister to ascend to the top job himself and the first federal leader to vault his party straight from a distant third place into office, circled the globe and created an international sensation. All in the last three months of 2015.

And now he’s been selected as Canada’s Newsmaker of the Year.

“Trudeau was the runaway choice of news editors and directors across the country,” said Stephen Meurice, Editor-in-Chief of The Canadian Press.

Fully 87 per cent chose Trudeau as the top newsmaker in The Canadian Press’s annual survey of newsrooms across the country.

Rachel Notley, the NDP leader who put an end to the four-decade Conservative dynasty in Alberta, came a distant second, chosen as top newsmaker by just seven per cent of those surveyed.

Little Alan Kurdi, the toddler whose lifeless body on a Turkish beach put a human face on the Syrian refugee crisis and pushed the issue smack into the midst of the federal election campaign, was one vote behind Notley.

It was “no contest,” wrote Carl Fleming, managing editor at the Cape Breton Post. “Everybody is talking about Justin.”
