PM Trudeau visits Toy Mountain drive to help families in need

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau visited CTV's Toy Mountain drive at the Toronto Eaton Centre on Monday to help collect toys for families in need.

“It’s important to remind everyone that as we do our Christmas shopping, as we think about our families, we have to think about the families that need a little extra help for this time in the holidays,” the prime minister told CTV Toronto's Tom Brown.

“It’s not always easy for a lot of families around the holidays and that’s why remembering what matters in family and supporting people who don’t have as much is really important.”

Hundreds gathered at the mall to watch Trudeau’s arrival. Many took to social media to express their excitement over the prime minister’s appearance.

“The generosity of Torontonians every year is just extraordinary and I’m just happy to be contributing to Toy Mountain,” Trudeau said. “Being generous and making sure that little kids right across the country and right across the GTA have happier Christmases is really important.”

It was an amazing sight, and yet another sign that we are living in a very different Canada.

For there in the massive Eaton Centre mall, a place so full of frenzied shoppers these days I dare not enter it, was Justin Trudeau.

Mingling with real Canadians.....
