TRU hosts the Prime Minister’s first town hall of 2019 Justin Moore STAFF WRITER Ω Tensions were high in Kamloops with the arrival of the Prime Minister on Jan. 9. With Justin Trudeau's first town hall of 2019 scheduled for the Tournament Capital, his appearance was met with groups of protesters and long lines of community members on campus hoping to find a seat at the rare political event. As to be expected when the Prime Minister comes in close

contact with members of the public, his town hall was bookended by crowds of people trying their luck at snagging a selfie with the Canadian Liberal leader. When the floor finally opened to the public, Trudeau was met with quite a mix of questions, the first of which being "what's your favourite part of the day?" To which the Prime Minister replied with his soon to be five-year-old son crawling into his bed in the morning to cuddle. This question was followed by a more political one as to how

Canadians can invest their money in green energy rather than fossil fuel companies. Trudeau went on to talk about Canada's transition to clean energy and how we can find sustainable solutions with a clean, positive outlook, mentioning that he was "a little more optimistic" than previously mentioned by David Suzuki, who as Trudeau put it, "tends to disagree quite vehemently on a number of things."

Trudeau spoke for over an hour and a half in TRU’s Gym on issues such as the wage gap, working towards greener energy and trade issues during his first town hall of the year. (Justin Moore/Ω)
