CBC NEWSWORLD - ELECTION NIGHT COVERAGE

Peter Mansbridge stood in front of the camera as he gave a pleasant smile as he began, "Good evening, Canada. Today, we have elected the first female President of the Canadian Republic, Senator Iris Ryan. She isn't the only woman to run for the Presidency. In 1995, Democrat Vice President Kim Campbell tried running for the Presidency against Republican President Preston Manning."

The anchor for the election special continued after taking a moment to catch a breath as he continued, "I look forward to her first four year term as President of our country."

President Anthony Raymond Wittrock stood beside and held hands with the newly elected President, Iris Kayla Ryan as they posed for a few publicity photographies, "I never knew the young but determined young woman who worked as my aide when I was sitting as a Senator would be the President, especially the one just after me."

President Iris Ryan smiled at him as they held hands for a few more photographs as she removed her delicate hands from his, "Mister Wittrock. It is an honour to continue your great work. I hope for the best of your wife and yourself."

"Thank you."

She continued, "I believe you have something that I must have? The football?"

President Wittrock handed it over the armoured steel suitcase over to her, "There you go. From the predecessor before me once said, 'I hope you never need to use these codes'. The same message is passed down to you."

She nodded, "Thank you for giving Canada, your service."
