Politicians On Parliament Hill

[Markd]

I recently moved to Ottawa, Ontario and have decided to try and get as many Canadian Politician's autographs as I can in a book on the history of the Parliament Buildings. I have made a few walks up to Parliament Hill and have already met some of Canada's most prominent politicians. I do notice that Canadian political figures are a lot easier to approach than American political figures. It's nice living in a country where the most powerful people in the country can walk and ride their bikes to Parliament Hill with no security or motorcades needed. Anyway so far I have gotten my book signed by:
