PM’s Canada 150 whistle stop in Calgary becomes a whistle not
CALGARY — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was upstaged by his eight-year-old daughter Ella Grace as the CP Canada 150 train chugged into Calgary Sunday afternoon.
Prior to Trudeau speaking, CP Rail President Keith Creel told the audience that the railway had created a special train horn 50 years ago to celebrate Canada’s centennial.
The whistle was dragged out of storage and Creel invited the prime minister’s daughter to push the button.
“I’d like to now welcome Miss Ella Grace Trudeau onto the stage to help us blow this whistle.”
