Trudeau hits Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador on Day 2 of East Coast swing

HALIFAX — Justin Trudeau is hitting two more Atlantic provinces today as part of a swing through the region where he will harp on the health of Canadians.

Trudeau is scheduled to make a heath-care announcement before moving on to Newfoundland and Labrador.

The Liberal leader made a point of talking about vaccinations during his first day in Atlantic Canada, speaking to crowds in New Brunswick and P.E.I. about the need to get a shot.

He also spoke about his government’s pledge to require public workers, as well as air and rail travellers, to be fully vaccinated, looking to use it as a wedge issue against the Conservatives.
