Let's make this birthday one to remember.

70 years old (Born on July 07, 1954)

Happy Birthday, Steve Gilchrist! May your celebrations be more successful than Ontario elections in the '90s and early 2000s combined. From passionately debating legislation to tackling Cabinet duties under Mike Harris with finesse, you've certainly earned a slice of cake—or two (don't worry about party lines today!).

As you reflect on another remarkable year filled with spirited politics and unwavering dedication, may your future bring even greater successes—politically or otherwise—and fewer parliamentary points-of-order interrupting festivities this time around. Keep smiling, stay progressive yet conservative enough at parties, and know that you're timelessly awesome. Happy birthday!
