Let's make this birthday one to remember.

81 years old (Born on December 28, 1943)

Happy Birthday, David Robert Peterson! As Ontario's groundbreaking Liberal Premier—the first in forty-two years—you've always known how to shake things up. From steering the province through progressive reforms and economic growth during your tenure (1985–1990), you've left a legacy that's as timeless as it is impressive.

Today we celebrate not just another year older—but wiser too—though we're pretty sure you had that wisdom thing nailed down decades ago. May this birthday bring laughter louder than parliamentary debates, joy brighter than election-night victories, and cake sweeter than bipartisan cooperation!

Cheers to many more memorable milestones ahead!
