Justin Trudeau visits Oakville
STORY AND PHOTOGRAPHY BY ERIN QUEENAN
Liberal Party leader Justin Trudeau made a 30-minute stop in Oakville at a Bronte coffee shop on October 5.
Trudeau was greeted getting off of his campaign bus by about 50 party supporters, including John Oliver, Liberal candidate for Oakville.
After shaking hands, hugging and cheek-kissing his way into the shop, Yury Wu, a Colombian native, owner of Taste of Colombia, took Trudeau behind the bar to make a French press.
After measuring the coffee, filling the press, stirring, steeping and pressing, Trudeau poured out the fresh brew into a white mug on a plate accompanied with a red maple leaf cookie, the party’s symbol, and a Mason jar filled with water.
“Gotta keep hydrated,” noted Trudeau with a grin as he handed the plate over the bar.
When Wu offered to pour Trudeau a cup, he sheepishly admitted he’s not a coffee drinker. Trudeau headed back to the bus, stopping on the way for last-minute photos, hugs and handshakes.
