Canadian-born celebrities have flocked to Twitter in light of yesterday’s elections in the Great White North. Between the big news of Labour Party member Justin Trudeau‘s win and the concurrent reveal of a Gilmore Girls revival, there was much to discuss.
Some, like Orphan Black’s Tatiana Maslany, didn’t take sides, but merely wanted their fellow Canadian citizens to get out and vote:

New Girl’s Hannah Simone recalled rubbing elbows with the new prime minister at a bar 10 years ago.

In the end, though, Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds may have had the most unique comment of them all.
