Trudeau, Irish leader to march in Montreal Pride parade

By The Canadian Press

MONTREAL – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is meeting Ireland’s head of government in Montreal today as the Irish leader kicks off a three-day visit to Canada.

Trudeau and Taoiseach Leo Varadkar began the day with a military welcome ceremony at an armoury near Mount Royal, where troops from across Canada performed an honour guard drill.

Later, the pair will march in Montreal’s Pride parade.

Trudeau’s office says the event will mark the first time a foreign head of government has joined a prime minister in a Canadian Pride parade.

They’ll also hold meetings where the two leaders are expected to discuss issues relating to diversity and inclusion as well as the Canada-Europe free trade agreement, which goes into effect next month.
