Canada PM takes leave for romance
Whoever said romance was dead has obviously not met Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
The 44-year-old pinup premier yesterday said he would take a day off ahead of G7 talks in Japan to celebrate his wedding anniversary with spouse Sophie Gregoire Trudeau, calling it an essential "work-life balance".
The couple, who arrived in Japan on Monday, are headed to a traditional inn called a ryokan today before the two-day meeting of the club of rich nations begins Thursday.
The photogenic Trudeau -- who has amassed a growing legion of mostly female fans -- said the pair would rely on "personal funds" for their 11th wedding celebration.
"This is the kind of work-life balance that I've often talked about as being essential in order to be able to be in service of the country," he told reporters in Tokyo.
