Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he would raise his concerns about 'backsliding' on women's rights in the US as he meets Vice President Mike Pence - one of the most prominent American abortion opponents today. Pence traveled to Ottawa today to meet with Trudeau and the bulk of their talks were expected to focus on trade issues. These included ratifying the new North American trade pact and continuing tensions with China. Ahead of the visit, when asked by a reporter whether he would discuss abortion with Pence, Trudeau replied in French: 'You all know my opinion on that. We will always defend women's rights.  Justin Trudeau said he would raise his concerns about 'backsliding' on women's rights in the US when he meets Vice President Mike Pence (both pictured today) Pence traveled to Ottawa today (pictured) to meet with Trudeau and the bulk of their talks were expected to focus on trade issues 'I am very concerned about the conservative movement, which is beginning to … [Read more...] about ‘We will always defend women’s rights’: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he will raise abortion ‘backsliding’ issue with Mike Pence on official visit to Ottawa

This is the awkward moment Canadian PM Justin Trudeau is left hanging by Prince George after going for a high-five. Superstar politician Mr Trudeau might have endeared himself to millions online through his outspoken feminism, support for diversity and willingness to embrace internet memes, but it seems it takes more than that to impress Will and Kate's eldest. The three-year-old prince arrived in Canada with his sister Charlotte and parents the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge for a formal tour of the country. He looked smarts in navy shorts and a blue sweater as he walked down the steps from the plane holding his parents' hands, at about midnight UK time today in Victoria, British Columbia. But in this video George shuts down the prime minister, 44, by shaking his head when offered the high-five. He turns shy again when offered a low-five by Mr Trudeau, who was elected last November. The Canadian PM then tried a traditional handshake but without success. The snub was far from causing … [Read more...] about Awkward moment Canadian PM Justin Trudeau is left hanging by Prince George after going for a high-five

Princess Charlotte touched down for her first Royal tour this morning along with William, Kate and big brother George. The 16-month-old tot was in her mother's arms as the royals emerged from their Royal Canadian Air Force jet Airbus 310 at the military base of Victoria airport for their week-long trip to Canada. Wearing a Jenny Packham dress and The Queen's Diamond Maple Leaf Brooch, Kate looked relaxed and stylish, showing no signs of tiredness from the family's nine hour flight. She carefully walked down the plane stairs carrying Charlotte, who was wearing a flowered dress with a blue clip in her hair, as George, who was in a blue top and shorts, walked down himself holding his daddy's hand. As they got to the bottom both children managed a little wave, with Charlotte appearing to wave in the direction of the plane and George, three, appearing more interested in the Sea King landing behind but managing a wave for the assembled journalists. At one point Charlotte cuddled into her mum … [Read more...] about Princess Charlotte arrives in Canada in mum’s arms as excited Prince George gives royal wave

Parents are always being asked: "Are we nearly there yet?" After a nine-hour transatlantic flight, the royals finally were. And Prince George could not wait to look. After landing at the military base in Victoria, British Columbia, for the start of the royal tour, the three-year-old took a peek out of the aeroplane window to see the country he will one day rule from afar. Photographers spotted the toddler spying on what was going on at the airport as the royals prepared to disembark. And he looked rather like his great grandmother the Queen, who was captured looking similarly curious at the window of Buckingham Palace ahead of the picnic on the Mall for her 90th birthday. Kate later revealed the children were "super excited about the fact they were going to sleep on a plane". Prince George must have liked what he saw when he landed as he was in good spirits as he came off the plane, despite the long flight - even though he looked rather more interested in the aircraft on the military … [Read more...] about Prince George peeks out of the window at Canada – just like his great gran on her birthday

Prince George gave a cute wave as the royals landed in Canada - but seemed more interested in the aircraft. The royals arrived on their Royal Canadian Air Force jet Airbus 310 this morning at the military base of Victoria airport for their week-long trip to Canada. George walked down the plane stairs himself holding his daddy's hand while his little sister Charlotte was carried by mum Kate. Both children managed a little wave, with Charlotte appearing to wave in the direction of the plane and George. Prince George was in his mother’s arms last time he arrived for a royal tour, in New Zealand two and a half years ago. This time, wearing a smart blue top and shorts, George seemed more interested in the Sea King helicopter landing behind. George is known to be fascinated by helicopters planes - and may follow in dad Prince William's footsteps as a pilot. In July the royal tot enjoyed the sights and sounds of the Royal International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire. … [Read more...] about Watch Prince George manage cutest wave as he lands in Canada – but is fascinated by helicopter landing
