Old/Ronald Mason

The Rt. Honourable Ronald Mason, M.D. (born October 27, 1988) is a Canadian physician and retired politician who served as the 27th Prime Minister of Canada from 2036 to 2037. A Liberal, Mason was the first ever Canadian Prime Minister to have formed a government, after losing to the Conservatives by a deficit of two seats. Much of Mason's agenda was focused on helping the poor and middle class, increasing government programs, and passing medical care expansions such as PharmaCare. In the beginning, Mason's political career was promising; he was well liked by his constituents and was a popular figure in Canada. However, following a shooting on parliament hill in which 23 year-old MP Lucas Smith was killed and Mason was shot, Mason decided to send military forces into Winnipeg upon discovering that the gun used was traced to gangs in Winnipeg, of which have became more common. The people of Winnipeg rioted, and Mason ordered troops to use non-lethal force. 3 people died. On January 5th, 2037, Ronald Mason resigned from his post despite indication from the Canadian people that they did not want him to resign. Now, Ronald Mason has returned to medicine, where he owns a pediatric practice in Halifax and is an Adjunct Professor at the University of British Columbia Faculty of Medicine. He additionally occasionally writes columns for the New York Times and has written two books. When asked if he would ever consider returning to politics, he said "Politics is the root of corruption, of all evil. Right here, as a pediatric physician, I am serving my community way more than I ever could as a politician. The answer is no."
