But that’s different from recognizing that being PM is a tough job and he’s entitled to vacation time with his familyHowever, it comes with the caveat that the PM is always the PM, regardless of whether he’s working in his office in Ottawa, attending G-7 meetings in Europe, or vacationing on a beach in the Caribbean, or in Tofino, B.C.
The Prime Minister’s Office noted that during his Costa Rica vacation, Trudeau is getting regular briefings and it consulted with the ethics commissioner in advance about the trip, regarding any potential conflicts of interest.
Similarly, if the media had taken the word of the PMO last year that Trudeau was in private meetings in Ottawa during National Reconciliation Day on Sept. 30, we would never have known he was in fact holidaying in Tofino, B.C. — walking on a beach while the PMO insisted he wasn’t on a beach.Article content
Trudeau apologized for what he described as an error in judgment by not accepting an invitation from Indigenous leaders to meet with them that day in B.C., amid the discovery of unmarked graves near residential schools. He said he had phone conversations with residential school survivors that day.

sunlorrie If you're paying Lorrie, then that says everything about your rag
