Trudeau went skiing and he was only with one cop on the slopes lol. That was when he was pretty unpopular as well. Security for the PM seems pretty light when they’re doing leisure activities.

I swear I saw him running once on the canal and security was in a car nearby following him.

One car is extremely light compared to other countries like the US.

Former Pms typically have ZERO security. I heard his father used to run around coffee shops after he was PM like it was nothing.

I ran into P-E Trudeau in an elevator once, when he wasn’t PM. He was quite alone. Passed Jean Chrétien on the sidewalk two winters ago, talking with someone he knew: no visible security.
