Ronald Reagan

I should preface this by saying I'm not an American, and if I was an American I likely wouldn't be a Republican. That being said I feel a certain sadness at Reagan's passing. Ronald Reagan came to power just as I was becoming aware of politics. It was an amazing time to learn about the electoral system, with Reagan in the White House and Trudeau on Parliament Hill, they were both larger than life, charming, excellent speakers. I was captivated.

I guess I feel like Reagan's passing is one more sign that the world I knew as a child has moved on.
