Justin Trudeau will have yet another connection to his late father: Not only is he following in Pierre Trudeau’s footsteps as Prime Minister, he’ll also be sitting at the same desk.
The CBC reported that former Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s desk was removed from the third-floor office on Parliament Hill.
Justin Trudeau found it too big, and asked for a smaller one. The desk that fit best (Goldilocks-style) was used by his father.
Pierre Trudeau wasn’t the only one: the desk was also used by Wilfrid Laurier, Lester B. Pearson, Jean Chrétien and Paul Martin, the CBC reports.
In the photos below, Justin Trudeau can be seen yawning at his father’s swearing-in, and carrying his own son to Parliament Hill.
