VANCOUVER — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau jokingly warned students at a Vancouver school Tuesday that they need to be nice to their substitute teachers because they’ll never know when those former teachers might show up with a motorcade filled with police officers to back them up.
Trudeau was a substitute teacher at David Thompson Secondary School and told a group of about 60 Grade 10 science students that teaching for him is a mindset he still uses every day.
“Teaching for me was a path into everything else I ever did in my life,” he said. “It wasn’t just a stepping-stone, it is how I live every single day as a prime minister.”
At the first of two Liberal fundraisers at the Fairmont hotel in downtown Vancouver, Trudeau spoke about the launch of Canada’s Emissions Reduction Plan, which was tabled in the House of Commons Tuesday. It calls for the oil and natural gas sector to cut emissions by 42 per cent by 2030.
