Justin Trudeau and Sophie Grégoire Trudeau announce separation
Prime minister and Grégoire Trudeau post statements online announcing separation
"Sophie and I would like to share the fact that after many meaningful and difficult conversations, we have made the decision to separate," Trudeau wrote in a message posted to his Instagram account.
Trudeau, 51, and Grégoire, 48, were married in May 2005 and have three children together: two sons, Xavier, 15, and Hadrien, nine, and one daughter, 14-year-old Ella-Grace.
"As always, we remain a close family with deep love and respect for each other and for everything we have built and will continue to build," Trudeau and Grégoire Trudeau wrote in identical messages. "For the well-being of our children, we ask that you respect our and their privacy."
Grégoire, a former television presenter, has been a prominent presence at Trudeau's side throughout his political career and become a public figure in her own right as an advocate for several charitable and social causes, including mental health and gender equality.
According to a statement from the Prime Minister's Office, Trudeau and Grégoire Trudeau have "signed a legal separation agreement."
"They have worked to ensure that all legal and ethical steps with regards to their decision to separate have been taken, and will continue to do so moving forward," Trudeau's office said.
"They remain a close family and Sophie and the Prime Minister are focused on raising their kids in a safe, loving and collaborative environment. Both parents will be a constant presence in their children's lives and Canadians can expect to often see the family together. The family will be together on vacation, beginning next week."

Justin Trudeau and Sophie Grégoire Trudeau announce separation
Prime minister and Grégoire Trudeau have been married for 18 years
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his wife, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, have decided to separate, according to statements posted online by both of them.
"Sophie and I would like to share the fact that after many meaningful and difficult conversations, we have made the decision to separate," Trudeau wrote in a message posted to his Instagram account.
Trudeau, 51, and Grégoire, 48, were married in May 2005 and have three children together: two sons, Xavier, 15, and Hadrien, nine, and one daughter, 14-year-old Ella-Grace.
"As always, we remain a close family with deep love and respect for each other and for everything we have built and will continue to build," Trudeau and Grégoire Trudeau wrote in identical messages. "For the well-being of our children, we ask that you respect our and their privacy."
A prominent presence
Grégoire, a former television presenter, has been a prominent presence at Trudeau's side throughout his political career and become a public figure in her own right as an advocate for several charitable and social causes, including mental health and gender equality.
According to a statement from the Prime Minister's Office, Trudeau and Grégoire Trudeau have "signed a legal separation agreement."
"They have worked to ensure that all legal and ethical steps with regards to their decision to separate have been taken, and will continue to do so moving forward," Trudeau's office said.
"They remain a close family and Sophie and the Prime Minister are focused on raising their kids in a safe, loving and collaborative environment. Both parents will be a constant presence in their children's lives and Canadians can expect to often see the family together. The family will be together on vacation, beginning next week."
The announcement of their separation was extensively covered by international media on Wednesday.
Trudeau's parents — former prime minister Pierre Trudeau and Margaret Trudeau — famously separated in 1977.
As recounted in his autobiography, Common Ground, Trudeau and Grégoire Trudeau began dating in 2003. Grégoire Trudeau, the daughter of a stockbroker and a nurse, was a former schoolmate of Trudeau's late brother, Michel.
The couple became engaged in 2004 and married each other a year later during a ceremony at Montreal's Sainte-Madeleine d'Outremont church — "by Canadian standards, a sweet and appropriately understated fairy-tale wedding," was how a writer for Maclean's described it.
'Our marriage isn't perfect'
Both Trudeau and Grégoire Trudeau spoke at times candidly about their relationship and the challenges of marriage.
"Our marriage isn't perfect, and we have had difficult ups and downs, yet Sophie remains my best friend, my partner, my love," Trudeau wrote in Common Ground, which was published in 2014.
Grégoire Trudeau told an interviewer in 2015 that "no marriage is easy."
"I'm almost kind of proud of the fact that we've had hardship, yes, because we want authenticity. We want truth," she said. "We want to grow closer as individuals through our lifetime and we're both dreamers and we want to be together for as long as we can."
Trudeau launched his political career in 2007, when he decided to seek the Liberal Party nomination in the Montreal riding of Papineau. After winning there in 2008 and 2011, Trudeau began to consider seeking the Liberal leadership. The decision, he wrote, would ultimately come down to "a deeply personal private discussion between Sophie and me."

2022 in Ottawa. Trudeau and Gregoire announced on Wednesday they are
separating. (Adrian Wyld/The Canadian Press)
"We had many long, honest talks that summer," Trudeau recalled. "I wanted to be sure she knew, from my own experience, just how rough that life can be. I recalled for Sophie that my father had once told me I should never feel compelled to run for office. 'Our family has done enough,' he said."
His father said that, Trudeau noted, "despite having never experienced the incessant, base vitriol of twenty-first-century politics."
"I welcome a good tussle, and my skin is thick, but I had grown up in the reality of public life," Trudeau wrote. "Sophie had not, and our decision would affect our kids, in some ways, more than either of us."
In an interview in 2008, Grégoire Trudeau said that when she met Trudeau, "politics was not impossible, but it was not in the short-term or the mid-term plan."
"But an opportunity came up, and we felt that if we weren't going to embark on this adventure, a part of us would be selfish with the voice that we have and the opportunities that are given to us," she said.
Personal lives generally private matters
In Common Ground, Trudeau credits Grégoire Trudeau with "profoundly" influencing his style of politics and for helping keep him grounded.
"Sometimes it's easy for people who have made politics their livelihood to get caught up in the heat of battle and forget about their personal values. Sophie never does, and no matter how intense things get, she makes sure I don't either," Trudeau wrote.

The personal lives of prime ministers are generally treated as private matters. But Pierre Trudeau's relationship with Margaret Sinclair — including their marriage in 1971 and their separation in 1977 was highly publicized. Trudeau was the first prime minister to get married while in office and also the first to publicly separate from his partner. Margaret Trudeau later disclosed her long struggle with mental illness.
Justin Trudeau, who was born nine months after his parents wed, experienced their divorce as a young child and he wrote at length about those years in Common Ground. Trudeau said that much of what was written about his parent's relationship was "lurid and inaccurate."
"From my perspective today, the commonly held story of my parents' marital breakdown is nothing but a caricature, because my father was not just the tradition-bound diehard he appeared and my mother was not entirely the totally free spirit that her actions suggest," Trudeau wrote.
"Things are never that simple, especially with a couple as complex as my parents, and I remain amused by and exasperated with those who view their relationship — all the passion, triumph, achievements, and tragedy — in black and white, seeing it merely as a flawed union between a cool and aloof man and an exuberant and uninhibited younger woman. It was that, but also much more."
How the world reacted to Justin Trudeau and Sophie Grégoire Trudeau's separation
The news made headlines in the U.S., U.K., Ireland, India and others
Headlines in Canada were filled with news of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Sophie Grégoire Trudeau's separation on Wednesday — but the news quickly received international attention as well.
Experts say that Trudeau's international profile likely contributed to the news garnering global interest.
"Sophie and I would like to share the fact that after many meaningful and difficult conversations, we have made the decision to separate," Trudeau wrote in a message posted to his Instagram account on Wednesday. The statement rapidly made it into international news stories.
U.S. national newspapers, such as the New York Times and Washington Post reported on the former couple's separation, as did a number of American broadcasters — including CNN, CBS and NBC — on their websites.
The separation was People Magazine's top story on its website on Wednesday afternoon. The news also made it onto American tabloid TMZ's website.
Jennifer Stewart, CEO of the communications firm Syntax Strategic, told CBC News Network that the separation might attract more eyes globally than it does in Canada.

Minister Justin Trudeau and his wife, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, displayed
as its top story. (People Magazine)
"This is not Canadian news. This is international news. Trudeau has a celebrity factor and so does Sophie," Stewart told host Dianne Buckner.
"People care about his personal life, and I would argue people care more internationally than they do in Canada about his personal life," she said.
In the U.K. — where the two recently travelled for King Charles' coronation — the news of the separation made the BBC's main page. British newspapers, such as the Guardian and the Daily Mail also reported the news.
Trudeau similarly caught the attention of British tabloids during the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, when he and members of the Canadian delegation sang U.K. rock band Queen's hit Bohemian Rhapsody in the lobby of a hotel.
Shortly after Trudeau was first elected prime minister in 2015, he and Grégoire Trudeau gained international attention by appearing in Vogue Magazine. That was followed up by another Vogue article in 2017, which offered a "look back at their long love affair."

"It has the sort of feeling of a Hollywood breakup," the president of Enterprise Canada and conservative strategist Jason Lietaer told Buckner on CBC News Network.
"The stakes are really high for both the prime minister and the country. He has been prime minister for a long time now. We know him, we know his family," he said. "My first reaction to this was, 'Man, I hope those kids are going to be ok.'"
The former couple's separation also made headlines in France, Ireland, India, and the United Arab Emirates.
Jonathan Malloy, a professor of political science at Carleton University, told CBC News that there has been international attention on Trudeau's personal life ever since he became prime minister.
"Trudeau has always attracted an unusual amount of personal international attention for a Canadian prime minister," Malloy said in a statement. "It is unsurprising that international media attention has followed this unfortunate and private development in a Trudeau family relationship."

Danielle Smith calls on 'reasonable' ministers to counter Guilbeault's

Danielle Smith calls on 'reasonable' ministers to counter Guilbeault's
influence in cabinet
"Four [ministers] are reasonable, one of them is not," Alberta premier says

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says the fact that Environment Minister
Steven Guilbeault continues to spearhead the federal government's
climate agenda means the ministers around him will have to work harder
to achieve a "balanced approach."
"The fact that we have five cabinet ministers that we're dealing with
— four of them are reasonable, one of them is not," Smith told host
Catherine Cullen in an interview on CBC's The House airing Saturday.
"I'm hoping that the four reasonable ones are able to carry the day
because we can have a deal with the federal government that is good
for industry, good for the environment, good for consumers, good for
the planet, good for our trade partners.
"And it's a matter of making sure Guilbeault is not the one who
carries the day because he's the one, unfortunately, who is sending
mixed messages and it's not helpful."
WATCH | Environment minister discusses end to some oil and gas subsidies
Environment minister lays roadmap to ending fossil fuel subsidies in Canada
Duration 2:06
Federal Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault laid out the
government's plan to phase out subsidies for fossil fuel extraction in
Canada. But critics argue the changes don't go far enough and there
are too many exceptions.
Guilbeault is one of a handful of ministers who retained their
positions after a massive cabinet shuffle earlier this week. Smith and
some other provincial leaders have clashed repeatedly with Guilbeault
over federal climate policy.
Smith said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's decision to retain
Guilbeault "tells me that his colleagues are going to have to do a lot
more to advocate for a balanced approach at the table. He shouldn't be
the only one out there deciding policy."
For his part, Guilbeault has sought a more conciliatory tone in his
relationship with Smith.
"I wouldn't say things are great," he told The House last month. "I'm
saying we have our differences, but we have also the capacity to work
them out."
Guilbeault not giving up on getting a global commitment to phase
out unabated fossil fuels
Ottawa announces plan to phase out 'inefficient' fossil fuel subsidies
In a statement sent to CBC News on Friday, Guilbeault's office said he
remains committed to close cooperation with the provinces. The
statement said the minister visited Alberta recently and he and the
provincial government worked effectively to create regulations on
heavy emitters and carbon capture systems.
"Putting politics aside, we will keep coming to the table in the
spirit of collaboration to improve the lives of Albertans," said the
statement.
The federal government and Alberta also have agreed to set up a
working group on energy issues.
LISTEN | The federal-provincial fight over the environment:
CBC News: The House16:02
The next round in the Alberta-Ottawa fight begins
Danielle Smith’s victory in this week’s provincial election in Alberta
sets the stage for more conflict between the province and the federal
government over energy and climate change policy. Environment Minister
Steven Guilbeault speaks to host Catherine Cullen about whether he and
Smith can get on the same page. Guilbeault also weighs in on how
Canada can deal with a destructive wildfire season, then Emily Croft,
a captain with the Hubbards, N.S. volunteer fire department, describes
her team’s experience fighting the blaze.
Smith's comments come after weeks of back-and-forth over the federal
government's approach to climate change policy. The federal government
recently unveiled its plan to end "inefficient" fossil fuel subsidies
and is working on regulations to set an emissions cap on the oil and
gas sector — something Smith calls a de facto production cap.
Ontario's Environment Minister David Piccini also criticized
Guilbeault for travelling abroad to represent Canada at a meeting of
G20 environment ministers (where he sought an agreement on ending
unabated fossil fuel projects), instead of remaining in Canada to meet
with provincial ministers.
Several areas of conflict
While Guilbeault has faced opposition at home over the government's
climate change agenda, he's also run into resistance abroad. G20
environment ministers meeting in India recently were unable to reach a
deal to put an end to unabated fossil fuel projects.
"Now I will be clear — our fight to keep 1.5 degrees alive continues.
But we need to continue working to build consensus on the phase-out of
unabated fossil fuels, which we didn't quite get here," Guilbeault
told reporters.
"The fact that we couldn't agree here at the G20 is not the end. We
will continue."

Ottawa's goal of ending unabated fossil fuel projects is just one
source of tension with Alberta. Smith also insists the goal of
achieving a net-zero electricity grid is "unachievable."
The federal government's emissions goals are also unrealistic, she said.
"[Industry] can't get to 42 per cent [reduction] in seven years.
They've got pipelines that they need to build. They've got new
technology they need to develop for carbon capture," she said. "We
also have to develop a brand new regulatory framework for nuclear like
that. That can't be done in seven years."

oilsands companies during Alberta visit
Analysis
Does Trudeau's cabinet shuffle really change anything?
Throughout the interview, Smith sought to draw a distinction between
the goal of reducing oil and gas production and the goal of lowering
emissions.
"We are not phasing out this industry. We're not phasing out oil.
We're not phasing out natural gas," she said. "We are phasing out
emissions, and there's a very big difference between the two."
Fundamentally, Smith said, Alberta and the federal government do agree
on the target of net-zero by 2050.
"We agree with the aspiration, but we don't agree on how to get
there," Smith told Cullen.

Are you not aware that hundreds of millions of people live on
floodplains? These floodplains have existed for thousands of years. Do
you have any idea why they're called floodplains? Perhaps you might
consider a course in basic geology.
Climate change is not new to this planet.

"So, Canada is still something like 1.6% of global emissions?"

China is 27% with onlu 18% of the population. Start there.

Canada is only 0.5% of the global population. We are much worse than
China per Capita, and the 10th worst in the world in terms of total
emissions.

So let China go on the 27% because we need to lower our 1% before we
can say anything.
No wonder we don't get anything accomplished.

No one is letting China go. They are facing international pressure to
lower their emissions and have even introduced a carbon tax. They are
banning the sale of new gas vehicles by 2030

Humans emit CO2; it's called breathing.
Fossil fuels do not emit from humans.

No, breathing doesn't add new CO2 into the cycle, burning fossil fuels does.

Cool, drag it down to semantics. When we talk about emitting CO2, that
means adding new CO2, so no, breathing doesn't emit.

Federal government struggling to get rid of millions of extra COVID-19
rapid tests
About 39 million extra tests are in storage

of some of them. (David Horemans/CBC)
The federal government is sitting on a stockpile of 39 million extra
rapid tests for COVID-19 and is struggling to get rid of them without
chucking them in the trash, an internal Health Canada memo shows.
As the Omicron variant of the virus began to tear across Canada at the
end of 2021, the government rapidly bought up rapid antigen tests,
distributing most of them to the provinces so people could swab
themselves for the virus at home.
Now that far fewer people are subjecting themselves to the
brain-tickling sensation of a COVID-19 test outside of hospitals and
other health-care settings, the government appears to have more than
it knows what to do with.
"Acknowledging the volumes of tests in play and the challenge of
divesting such quantity over a time-bound period, it is expected that
disposal of expired tests would be required," staff wrote to Health
Canada's deputy minister in a memo signed March 25.
The memo was obtained through federal access-to-information laws.

Rapid tests were considered both important and valuable in early 2022,
as regular test capacity was reserved only for certain cases in most
provinces. Since the beginning of the pandemic, Canada has spent
roughly $5 billion on rapid tests.
Even after the initial rise in Omicron infections settled down, the
government continued to accumulate tests in case the country was hit
with another large wave of infections.
That wave never came, and as public health restrictions were gradually
lifted, the government found itself with a stockpile of some 93
million tests as of March 21.

millions set to expire

By July 25, the store of tests was still sitting at over 90 million,
Health Canada said in a statement.
Provinces and territories now have enough supply of their own to give
eight tests to each Canadian. The federal health department plans to
keep up to 55 million in reserve to prepare for the next emergency,
which leaves 39 million extra as of the end of March.
Staff suggested several means of off-loading the tests, but each comes
with its own challenges. The largest obstacle is their short shelf
life — they usually only last one or two years.

despite low COVID-19 levels
"In practice, offering tests with less than eight to 12 months of
shelf life may present challenges," the memo says, though the specific
reasons for that are redacted.
So far no tests have been binned, though the department says 2.1
million tests are either damaged, expired or considered
"non-compliant" and can't be distributed.
Another 38,722 are expected to perish in August and September, the
memo shows. Most tests will expire in 2024.

Canada needs a national inquiry into COVID failures, experts say
Duration 2:42
A series of new reports in the British Medical Journal say Canada was
'ill-prepared' and 'lacked co-ordination' in the COVID-19 pandemic.
The report authors say it is time to investigate what happened and
learn how to prepare for the next pandemic.
Government looking at a variety of options
The department recommended shipping the tests abroad to countries that
need them, or even potentially paying the manufacturers to take the
tests back.
To date, neither of those things has happened.
In a written statement, Health Canada said some tests are being
donated to non-profits, public institutions and charities through
GCDonate, a part of the government's online surplus site.
They're also being shared among government departments for employee
testing programs.
"The Government of Canada has also been actively engaging with the
World Health Organization, the Canadian Red Cross, other
non-governmental organizations and private foundations to better
understand global demand and explore the feasibility of international
donation opportunities," the department said in the statement.
"Financially and environmentally sound disposal will be considered
only when all deployment and divestment options have been exhausted,
and tests are ineligible for distribution."
In the memo, staff said they plan to come up for a plan to start
disposing of unused tests for the deputy minister's approval.

Prime minister marches in P.E.I. Pride parade as provincial
politicians told to keep it 'non-partisan'
Parade organizers said provincial politicians were welcome 'in
non-partisan' fashion

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau marched in the P.E.I. Pride parade
Saturday in downtown Charlottetown, while Pride P.E.I. asked
provincial politicians to leave their party's branded materials at
home.
The 25th annual parade began at noon at the provincial government
buildings on Terry Fox Drive. It continued down Euston Street to Great
George, Grafton and Rochford before ending on Kent Street.
The announcement by the PMO of Trudeau's participation came months
after parade organizers said it no longer wanted provincial
politicians and political leaders to participate.
That came in the wake of some audio that emerged of Premier Dennis
King while he was on the campaign trial. Prompted by a question from
an unknown person on the voice track, King said that, in an ideal
world, people would agree to disagree about things like drag storytime
events. He later apologized for his remarks.

Politicians can march in parade, but not in a partisan way, says
Pride P.E.I.
In an interview Saturday morning, Lucky Fusca, board chair of Pride
P.E.I., said they agreed to welcome Trudeau's participation after
getting approval from BIPOC and Indigenous people from within the
LGBTQ community.
"I think that Justin Trudeau will probably feel pretty honoured to be
able to march with us today."
They said provincial politicians were welcome to march in the parade
but only as individuals in a "non-partisan" way.
"But as far as having any kind of branded materials that represent
their parties, we ask that they don't do that," Fusca said.
"The reason being is that we felt that the local provincial parties
haven't done what we expect them to do at this point as far as showing
active allyship, as well as providing tangible supports to
organizations that are serving the community."

He was greeted warmly on P.E.I., though one person in the crowd could
be heard shouting "dictator."
A record 75 groups registered for the parade, including the first
marching band to participate.
"This is magic," Fusca said. "It's a day full of love to celebrate who
we are authentically ... so very honoured and excited."

I'm sure he kept it "non-partisan" (except for the photo-ops of course).
