Isko Moreno Meets Justin Trudeau, the Prime Minister of Canada
ISKO MORENO – Former Manila mayor Isko Moreno got the chance to meet Canada’s Prime Minister (PM) Justin Trudeau at the Taste of Manila event in Toronto.
Justin Trudeau is a Canadian politician who has been serving as the 23rd Prime Minister of Canada since November 2015. He is the leader of the Liberal Party of Canada and the son of Pierre Trudeau, the 15th Prime Minister of Canada.
Growing up in a political environment, Trudeau spent much of his childhood at 24 Sussex Drive, the official residence of the Prime Minister. He attended McGill University, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Literature, and later the University of British Columbia, where he obtained a Bachelor of Education.

His government has focused on issues such as climate change, gender equality, and indigenous rights. Among his notable achievements and policies are the legalization of recreational cannabis in Canada in 2018, a commitment to addressing climate change, including the introduction of a carbon tax, and the introduction of a gender-balanced cabinet, a first in Canadian history.
He also played a significant role in handling the COVID-19 pandemic, including implementing economic relief packages for Canadians. Trudeau has been re-elected twice, in 2019 and 2021, though his government has faced criticism over various issues, including ethics scandals and the handling of indigenous affairs. Despite these challenges, he remains a prominent figure in Canadian and international politics.
