After announcing the federal government’s commitment to powering British Columbia’s liquefied natural gas sectors (LNG), Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was out on the town.
On Thursday afternoon, Canada’s leader was spotted in Richmond, at the T&T in Landsdowne Centre.
The surprise stop included giving mooncakes to some lucky shoppers and, naturally, plenty of selfies.

He was also spotted at Horseshoe Bay in West Vancouver, where further crowding and photo-ops took place.

And of course, what would Trudeau’s visit to British Columbia be if he didn’t give a shoutout to White Spot?
The Prime Minister and former UBC student has never been shy about his love for the local burger chain — he called himself a “fan for life” during his visit to BC in 2018.

Trudeau’s busy time in Vancouver isn’t over yet though.
On Friday morning, the Prime Minister also met with Vancouver Mayor Kennedy Stewart, at city hall.
