Some People Are Trudeau Special, Redux

It's like they knew to appeal to his stomach-turning vanity:

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been offered the gift of his own likeness some 17 times since becoming prime minister, including once by the president of China.

Remember - YOU can't travel:

As the prime minister and his family kick off August with a two-week Costa Rica vacation, he leaves behind a July with more time spent in the air than he did during the entirety of last summer — including a 5,500 km flight to spend six hours at the Calgary Stampede.

Data collected from online flight tracker websites show Justin Trudeau spent all but 11 days of July aboard CANFORCE ONE, flying a total of 26,238 km across 20 flights, all within Canada.

That’s compared to 26,059 km flown between June 1 and Aug. 31, 2021 — including last summer’s G7 summit in the U.K., as well as the June 13-15 NATO summit in Belgium. ...

The PM’s public itinerary shows most stops last month were photo opportunities, site tours or chats with local residents.

It doesn’t list attendance at non-governmental or party events, but Elections Canada data show four Liberal party fundraising events last month.
