Trudeau to appear at THREE photo-ops today following weeks-long Costa Rica vacation

On Monday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his family disembarked from their taxpayer-funded Royal Canadian Air Force plane following a two-week vacation in Costa Rica.

Following two days of private meetings in and around Ottawa, Trudeau's itinerary for Thursday showed him back on the road, this time on Quebec's Gaspé Peninsula with numerous planned photo-ops.

Prior to Thursday, it had been three weeks since Trudeau last made a public appearance. On July 27, he attended a Holy Mass with Pope Francis in Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupre, Quebec.

Trudeau is scheduled to spend the day in the town of New Richmond, making three stops to speak with locals and take photos.

At 11 am, he will visit a local farm, then at 1:45 pm it's off to a wind turbine manufacturing facility. The prime minister is set to cap off his day with a visit to a rolling stock retrofitting facility at 3 pm.

The Gaspé Peninsula is the only region in the province where more people have reported speaking French as their first language over the past five years. Elsewhere, that number is declining.

According to the Canadian Press, the last time Trudeau visited the region was one month before he called the federal election in 2021. A year later, Quebec is preparing for its own election.

In July, Trudeau made a number of visits to communities across the country, and his Thursday itinerary hints that he is making the most of what's left of summer to continue doing so.
