According to publicly available records obtained from itineraries published by the Prime Minister’s official website, Justin Trudeau took 116 days off in 2024.
This amounts to nearly four months of personal time, in a year when Canadians faced continued cost of living challenges.
In July, Keean Bexte, Editor-in-Chief of The Counter Signal, confronted Trudeau during his vacation at Tofino Beach in British Columbia.
The nearly 14-minute intense exchange was caught on camera, Trudeau claiming that he “works more days a week than the vast majority of Canadians”
In reality, Trudeau painted a false picture.
The average Canadian worker works for 7.1 hours per day, according to Statistics Canada, totalling 1,789 hours annually.
By contrast, Trudeau’s routinely empty schedule included an additional 46 days where he worked 1 hour or less. Combined with over three full months of personal time, Trudeau is far behind the mark.
Trudeau’s vacations weren’t spent quietly, instead he lived lavishly while skiing, surfing and attending high profile events with Liberal elites, coinciding with a dark period of difficulties for Canadians.
As the potential of a non-confidence motion in late January looms, 2024 could be the last year of Trudeau hardly working, while claiming to work harder than most Canadians.
