Wish comes true: Ontario teen becomes prime minister for the day
OTTAWA — Fifteen-year-old Aiden Anderson wants potential voters to remember his name because one day, he says, he will be prime minister.
The Ontario teen wanted to know what the job is like and this week he got a taste, including talking to reporters in a Parliament Hill news conference. Anderson was born with a rare heart defect and said he’s had four open heart surgeries, many ambulance rides and hospital visits.
He made a wish through Make-A-Wish Canada to step into Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s shoes.
“I kept thinking … I don’t care how long this takes, this is going to be worth it, this is going to be worth everything that I’ve had to go through in my life. So far it has been,” Anderson said in the House of Commons foyer.
