Hey there, time traveller!

OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has begun the search for a new Supreme Court of Canada justice.
Qualified candidates interested in the job, who must be functionally bilingual and demonstrate a relationship with Western or Northern Canada, will have until July 21 to apply.
A non-partisan advisory board is then expected to pick a shortlist of candidates to present to Trudeau.
The vacancy was created when former justice Russell Brown resigned from the top court earlier this month, ending a probe into allegations of misconduct related to an event in late January.
Brown has vigorously denied accusations that he was intoxicated and harassed a group of friends after an event at a Scottsdale, Ariz., resort hotel.
The Canadian Judicial Council ended its review when Brown stepped down, saying it no longer had jurisdiction to investigate.
