Trudeau slammed after sharing photos from Italian vacation
Trudeau took his sons, Xavier, 17, and Hadrien, 11, on their own separate lavish trips earlier in July. Some commenters have slammed the former prime minister for flaunting his glamorous vacations on social media.
'Most people are blessed to be able to take one trip a year. Boasting about this being your third is totally tone deaf and elitist,' one person said. 'I wish everyone could do what you did but unfortunately you [expletive] the economy big time,' another added. 'It's great you can afford to travel across Italy. Most of us can't afford groceries now, so thanks very much for mass immigration and poor policy,' said a third person.
'Ummmm your carbon footprint is killing people and the earth,' added a fourth. Another said: 'You made some good money off us - lucky kids.' Trudeau shares his three children with ex wife Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, from whom he announced a split in August 2023 after 18 years of marriage. He took his eldest son, Xavier, 17, on an adventurous trip to Switzerland 'for some mountaineering, hiking, via ferrata-ing, and more melted cheese than anyone should safely eat.'
Photos of the adrenaline-filled getaway showed the duo climbing up a snowy slope in Zermatt, ice axes in hand and mountaineering rope tied between them, clambering across steep drops and rocky edges. Hadrien, his youngest son who he once described as 'fun, fearless, and adventurous', went on a sun-soaked road trip with his father 'from Vancouver to Whistler and Victoria' where they enjoyed 'loads of fun activities together.'
In an amusing snap the former-politician was seen grinning as he went white water rafting with his son, while other scenic shots showed the pair in the mountains and forests. While many criticized Trudeau for flashy trips, others came to his defense, praising him for being present in his children's lives.
'Not a great politician, but a great person and father,' one person said. A second added: 'Love that you're finally getting time to just chill with your kids! Enjoy every moment.' 'SO nice to see that you've got more quality time with your kids now. These trips will always be some of their most special memories! Great dad, great leader, great human,' said another person.
'I love it how you took the time now that you have it to take each one of them separately on a trip. You are an amazing dad Justin,' a fourth said. As well as spending more time with his children, Trudeau has been spotted spending time with popstar Katy Perry. Others jokingly asked if Katy Perry was his photographer after the two fueled dating rumors earlier this year.

Tourists describe panic on board Boeing jet as engine exploded moments after take-off from Corfu with passengers 'sending last messages to loved ones'
Tourists on board a Boeing passenger jet that suffered an engine explosion just moments after take-off have told how they were sending 'last messages to loved ones' amid the chaos. Flight DE3655 to Dusseldorf from Corfu was carrying 273 passengers and eight crew when it took to the skies on Saturday, before making an emergency landing in Brindisi, Italy. But just forty minutes after take-off, when the aircraft reached a height of 1,500ft, orange sparks began flickering and sparking from the jet's right engine. Footage from inside the plane showed terrifying bursts of flames exploding from the engine while the aircraft shook as it travelled over the sea. Inside the cabin, a power outage and loud bangs made passengers fear the worst. Many of those recording from the ground reported hearing a 'deafening sound, seemingly like an explosion' coming from the aircraft during the incident. 'I sent goodbye messages thinking it was over. It was a horrible experience,' a woman traveling with her daughter told Bild. 'Suddenly, we heard a loud noise, then flames shot out of the engine. It was very scary,' another passenger said. A young woman named Leah described 'a loud clicking noise.' But despite the panic as they flew over Corfu, the pilots veered the plane to the right and turned back on itself to become parallel to the take off and landing runway at Corfu Airport - which had been placed on red alert at the time. However, the pilots decided that this would no longer be necessary as they assumed they could continue the flight with a single engine. The aircraft then moved at an altitude of eight thousand feet and landed at Brindisi airport, Italy, across from Corfu. According to German network RTL, the pilots were forced to change course to Brindisi as the engine malfunction did not allow them to carry through the flight to Dusseldorf. 'We apologise for any inconvenience, but passenger safety is our top priority at any given time', Condor airways said in a statement. The passengers and crew on board were forced to spend a night in Puglia, but their new emergency location was unable to accommodate them all in local establishments. Condor Airlines told Bild that passengers stranded at the airport had been given food vouchers and blankets following the incident. By the time they left on Monday morning, some passengers were still so stunned by the ordeal they they decided to take a 19-hour bus journey to return to Corfu instead of boarding another plane. An investigation has been launched to determine the cause of the fire. It comes after a plane skidded down the runway to make an emergency landing at Birmingham Airport on August 6 forcing all flights to remain grounded for hours. The small aircraft, a Beech B200 Super King Air plane, had been headed for Belfast before it was forced to make an impromptu landing on the city runway at 1.40pm. An observer, who wished to remain anonymous, filmed the plane - forced to descend without fully extending its landing gear - as it made the emergency stop. Three people received medical attention after the emergency landing, but just one person was treated for minor injuries.

Sasha Attwood flaunts her chiselled midriff in sizzling bikini-clad snaps as she shares glimpse into her Italian getaway with boyfriend Jack Grealish and their daughter Mila, 11 months
Sasha Attwood displayed her incredible figure in a slew of sizzling snaps from her sun-soaked holiday to Italy with her boyfriend Jack Grealish and their baby daughter, Mila. The model, 28, took to Instagram on Sunday to share a glimpse into the family's lavish getaway and flaunt her toned physique in a number of bikini shots. Posing up a storm on the deck of private boat, she slipped into a stylish cream two-piece that showed off her chiselled abs and long legs. While she also shared a sweet shot of her footballer boyfriend, 29, cuddling their baby girl, 11 months, onboard the luxury vessel. Sasha and Jack - who have been together since school - also proudly posed for a family snap with Mila, all dressed up to the nines for a day out during their balmy holiday. Sasha sent temperatures soaring in a lemon yellow maxidress covered in layered ruffles, while Mila looked adorable in a sweet baby pink dress as she clung affectionately to her dad. Further shots showed the mother-of-one continuing to display her chic fashion sense in a plunging pink satin dress, complete with a matching pink Chanel handbag. After over a decade together, Sasha and Jack welcomed their first child, Mila Rose Grealish, in September 2024. Mila's arrival was announced on Instagram by her footballer father, with Sasha calling it 'the most special moment of my life'. However, despite his joy at becoming a dad, Jack described 2024 as one of the hardest years of his life as he fought for his place in Manchester City. The year saw him spend more time that he would have liked on the bench instead of on the pitch and also narrowly miss out on a spot in England's Euro team. After mounting speculation, last week Everton confirmed that they had signed Jack on a season-long loan, with a £50million option to make the move permanent next season. After falling out of favour under City boss Pep Guardiola, he will now look to resurrect his career at Everton. Daily Mail Sport revealed on Monday how the England player had made financial sacrifices to push through the loan switch. Jack, who earns around £300,000 a week plus sponsorships at City, has, according to Everton sources, gone 'above and beyond' to make the deal happen. The move across the North West also means he does not have to uproot his young family. In his first words since joining Everton, Jack said: 'I'm over the moon to have signed for Everton - It's massive for me, honestly. This is a great club, with great fans. 'As soon as I spoke to the manager, I knew there was only one place that I wanted to go. On social media, I've been flooded with messages from Everton supporters, so there's that side of it as well and that's another reason why I chose Everton. 'I want to say thank you to the fans for all of the messages I've had already. Thank you for all of the love and support. I hope I can repay you now and I'm sure I will.' Speaking about taking on the No 18 shirt at Everton, he explained: 'There is a reason for [choosing number 18]. There were other numbers but my two favourite English players ever are Wayne Rooney and Paul Gascoigne and I know they both wore number 18 here. 'So, as soon as I knew this deal was close, I had a look and number 18 was free, so that was perfect for me and it was the only number I was going to take from that point. 'I spoke to Wayne before I came here and I mentioned that to him – about the number 18 – so I hope he's happy as well!' After mounting speculation, last week Everton confirmed that they had signed Jack on a season-long loan, with a £50million option to make the move permanent next season After spending the majority of last season on the periphery of City's first team, making only seven league starts, Jack has been convinced by manager David Moyes that Everton can provide him with the platform to rekindle his form of old and stake a claim for Thomas Tuchel's England World Cup squad. Moyes said: 'We welcome Jack to Everton, and we're very pleased to have him on board. I think we're getting him at a good time because he's experienced, he understands the Premier League, and we're all fully aware of the levels he's capable of performing to. 'I know Jack's ambition is to get back into the England squad so hopefully we can help him achieve that over the course of the season. 'We're all looking forward to working with him and providing a platform for him to show the best version of himself.' Jack has won three Premier League titles, the Champions League and FA Cup during his time at City. This included being a major part of their Treble winning squad in the 2022-23 season, and he was also a part of their 2023 UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup winning squads.

A decade after EUâs migrant crisis, hundreds still dying in Mediterranean
August 15, 2024, 2:27 a.m. A small rubber boat carrying 57 people who are trying to reach Europe from Libya is running out of fuel in the Mediterranean Sea. The passengers use a satellite phone to call an emergency hotline for migrants, but the connection drops before they can provide their location coordinates. 2:39 a.m. The passengers call back and provide a location about midway between Libya and the closest European territory, the Italian island of Lampedusa, according to Alarm Phone, the charity that runs the hotline. It has been nearly 23 hours since the passengers began their journey. They say they are tired and have not eaten since the previous morning, a timeline provided by Alarm Phone shows. 3:09 a.m. The passengers call the hotline again. Their boat has stopped, and they have no more fuel, they say. They are now adrift in the Mediterranean, a vast expanse of water where tens of thousands of migrants have disappeared over the past decade. An Alarm Phone volunteer urges the passengers to remain calm and try starting the engine again. It still won't start.
