    Politics in Canada are undergoing a major transformation with yesterday's upset election of Justin Trudeau, son of the former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. A Liberal, he's a stark contrast to long-time Conservative Stephen Harper.

    Ian Austen, who reports from Canada for the New York Times, joins us from Ottawa.
