Liberal leader Justin Trudeau makes Vancouver his first election campaign stop
Liberal leader Justin Trudeau's first stop in his 2019 election campaign was Vancouver, a place he's often referred to as his second home.
Loud chants and applause nearly drowned out Trudeau's words at a rally held at the Italian Cultural Centre in East Vancouver
"My friends, it is so good to be home," Trudeau told the crowd.
Trudeau, who once taught school in Vancouver, played up his ties to B.C., reminiscing about exploring Metro Vancouver's North Shore and eating Triple O burgers at The White Spot.
Hours earlier, on Wednesday morning,Trudeau met with Gov. Gen. Julie Payette in Ottawa to dissolve Parliament, launching Canada's 43rd general election.
