Much the first Canadian woman to be PM, then. The current PM retired as head of his party, and so the next to be elected as head of the Conservative Party got to be PM. Not womankind's proudest moment, exactly. But as I keep saying, bureaucracy has a power that in many ways supersedes the apparent power of elected officials, so maybe it's okay to call it a "real" election after all.
