Happy trails: Justin Trudeau rides off into sunset from Calgary Stampede
CALGARY — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau put on his cowboy hats and boots one more time Saturday assuring a screaming audience at a Calgary Stampede breakfast that Albertans are picking themselves up again after a slump in the economy.
“Can I get a ya-hoo?,” Trudeau asked as he took the stage at a pancake breakfast hosted by his cabinet colleague Kent Hehr.
“What an amazing pleasure it is for me to be back, every year at Stampede … to celebrate the Greatest Show on Earth, to celebrate the friendliest, happiest week in all of Canada here at Stampede,” said Trudeau to loud applause and whistles.
Any celebration in Alberta is under a cloud these days.
