Dreamy heartthrob Justin Trudeau was sworn in as Canada’s prime minister on Wednesday. The 43-year-old’s sunny, optimistic demeanor has already changed the post-election tone in Canadian politics. How long that lasts, of course, remains to be seen. But Trudeau on Wednesday continued his hot streak by introducing his 30-person Cabinet that had just as many women as men—a first for the country.

Justin Trudeau is ushering in a new era in Canadian politics with a cabinet that is reflective of the country’s ethnic diversity, peppered with rookie politicians, and composed of more women than ever before… After the swearing-in ceremony, Mr. Trudeau addressed reporters and other members of the public outside Rideau Hall saying he was proud to “present to Canada a cabinet that looks like Canada.”

When asked why he opted for gender equity, Trudeau responded: “Because it’s 2015.” The current 16-person Cabinet in the Obama administration, by comparison, is made up of just 25 percent women.
