Justin Trudeau sworn in as Canada's Prime Minister

Change!

(CNN) 11/04/2015 Once again, after a more than three-decade interlude, Canada is being led by a Trudeau.

Justin Trudeau was sworn in Wednesday as Canada's 23rd Prime Minister, bringing both fresh blood and an established pedigree to his country's top job given that his late father, Pierre, held the same position for all but a few months from 1968 to 1984.

"Canadians from all across this country sent a message that it is time for real change, and I am deeply honored by the faith they have placed in my team and me," Trudeau said immediately after his swearing in.

"Canadians chose a positive and optimistic plan for the future, and we will immediately begin implementing our plan for a strong middle class."

The younger Trudeau's ascent comes 16 days after his Liberal party scored an absolute majority in the general election, a decisive victory that ended Stephen Harper's nearly 10 years as Prime Minister. (Full Text)
