First, he stopped by for a brief appearance at the Stampede breakfast provided by Calgary Skyview MP George Chahal.
Along with whipping up some pancakes for the guests, Trudeau shared his best wishes for The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth and the city of Calgary.
“I know the Stampede is a great time for people to come across the country, come together to celebrate, come together to enjoy pancakes and celebrate everything about Calgary and the west,” he told the gathering.  “I’m incredibly excited to be here.”
He noted the past two years have resulted in a different look for the Calgary Stampede due to the health restrictions of the pandemic.
“We really saw the power of community, Canadians leaning on each other, being there for each other and that’s what it’s all about.  We’re facing more challenges with the war in Ukraine, with the global inflation crisis, but at the same time, we see it time and time again, Canadians stepping up to be there for each other.”
Trudeau will then visit the Calgary Stampede at 10:30 am.  and will later appear at a fundraising event in Calgary at 1 p.m., where he is expected to make a speech.

CONSERVATIVE PARTY HOLDS ANNUAL EVENT

While many of the Conservative leadership candidates, along with interim leader Candice Bergen, attended a breakfast on Saturday morning, the party held its own annual event at Heritage Park later in the day.
Four of the leadership contenders were allowed to make remarks at the event, which was attended by many party loyalists.
The Conservative Party says it has about 675,000 members – the most it has ever had – and raised $11.5 million during the last leadership campaign.
Bergen says the Conservatives should return to power in Canada and be proud of what they’ve done in the past.
“We are the party that built Canada and continue to build Canada,” she told supporters.  “From Confederation to the railroad to the Bill of Rights to a national pension to universal child care, these are all conservative ideas that became policy for the country of Canada.
“We should be very proud of that.”
