Happy Birthday, Marc Garneau! From orbiting Earth as Canada's first astronaut to navigating the turbulent atmosphere of Canadian politics, you've truly mastered both space and parliamentary gravity. Even though your 2006 campaign didn't quite achieve liftoff, you certainly proved that astronauts never fear a little turbulence!Your journey from zero-gravity adventures to grounded political debates has inspired countless Canadians. Whether floating weightlessly or debating passionately in Parliament since 2008, you've shown us all how to boldly go where few have gone before—without losing your sense of humor along the way. Here's wishing you another stellar year ahead—keep reaching for the stars!
