    Shirtless Justin Trudeau resurfaces from the wild to photobomb a beach wedding

    Not everything is about you, Justin Trudeau! Yes, you might be the coolest Prime Minister ever, and yes, we accept that you're in very good shape — but you can't just photobomb a couple's beach wedding like this.

    Despite the technically rude act, not everyone is mad at the Canadian leader. Far from it. It seems like most Twitter users are of the opinion that it was actually the wedding that photobombed an otherwise beautiful picture of the shirtless PM.

    After recently emerging shirtless from a cave in Quebec's Gatineau Park (yes, really) much to the surprise and delight of a hiking family, Trudeau’s beach sighting has some people wondering — why the sudden lack of shirts? Has someone lost his luggage? Did he lose all his shirts in a tragic wardrobe fire? We may never know.

    Photographer Marnie Recker was the lenser who bore witness to the very special occasion (as well as the wedding) in Tofino, British Columbia.

    As Recker recounted on Facebook, "Justin was quickly leaving the beach at the same time the bride appeared and started coming down the stairs. It was her moment and he respectfully stood aside and witnessed her walk down the aisle to her husband-to-be."

    She added, "He didn’t mean to be in the photo. Fate gave him no choice and he did the only thing he could do but stand there and allow her to pass. He is looking at the camera in some of the photos because I was looking at him and smiling, sharing in the humour of the moment."

    But not everyone is convinced. Some total haters people think it's all a part of Trudeau's master plan to promote himself and/or entice people into a state of Trudeau-mania via his new shirtless way of life.

    Worse things could happen TBH. Admit it, he's adorable.

    In other words Pearson and Trudeau's appeasement made Quebeckers happy Canadians?

    This may have been answered elsewhere, however, for the sake of historical accuracy, official bilingualism, the official languages act and the integration of the Canadian Armed Forces were all brought in by the Pearson Government. Pierre Trudeau had nothing to do with them. He did negociate the patriation of the Constitution and, with the provincial Premiers(except Quebec) brought in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Your reference to private property (land) ignores the fact that in Canada, all real property is owned by the Crown. People merely own a freehold lease from the Crown.

    You are partly right.

    1. OLA was passed in 1969. Trudeau was PM, Official Languages Act (1969) - The Canadian Encyclopedia
    2. Armed Forces were merged in 1968 so you're right.I think that "Royal" was stripped off in 1974 when Pearson was dead.;
    3. You're right that the Charter of No Rights and Special Pleadings was signed in 1982, along with the patriation of the Constitution;
    4. With property that ownership by the Crown is, except mineral rights, ceremonial, much as her being "head of state."
