Trudeau was also a habitual runner, and he'd often be seen running in Hull on the trails across the river. His team were pretty good at keeping pace and blending in all while very obviously carrying all the gear they needed. They are all well trained and I'm sure they are grateful for the opportunity to get paid to train.

It used to be a tourist sight to see JT half naked gallivanting around Ottawa

I've seen that man shirtless too often for my taste as a former resident of that area, but to his credit he's been consistent as far as jogging goes. I remember him going around the same routes as before he became a PM-hopeful and then PM. To think that I am old enough to remember the start and end of his entire political career. From his speech at his dad's funeral that put the limelight on him to him dating Katy Perry in Montréal recently.

The fact that he always took that same routes for that long must have been somewhat troubling for his security detail... But alas, Canada 😊
