'60 Minutes' to profile Justin Trudeau in an upcoming episode

The most-watched American news program will profile Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in an episode to air soon, CBC News has confirmed.

CBS's 60 Minutes has been filming Trudeau for months — including at last November's swearing-in ceremony — for the segment.

Lara Logan, chief foreign correspondent for CBS News and co-host of the weekly newsmagazine, is the correspondent attached to the Trudeau episode, a source familiar with the show's plans told CBC News.

Likely timed to state dinner

The episode looks set to air on March 6, just days before Trudeau visits Washington, DC for a state dinner with U.S. President Barack Obama on March 10.
The state dinner will be the first of its kind between the two countries in nearly 20 years. The last time a Canadian politician was featured on the program was in 2003, when then-deputy prime minister John Manley was featured in a segment called "North of the Border," which documented Islamic terrorist groups operating in Canada.

The program will continue filming Trudeau over the coming days. Trudeau is in Quebec City this weekend for the city's famed Carnival.

With thousands unemployed, the dollar sinking, election promises being broken and the promised deficit spending expected to triple. It is good to see the Liberals are still simply focused on photo shoots, magazine covers and garnering PR for our new PM. Ignoring Canadians and focusing on buying and building Justin's global reputation is all we have seen since the Libs took office.
