Justin Trudeau has confirmed via Twitter that he will be marching in Toronto Pride Parade this summer (July 1-3). The news is not only exciting but significant, as Trudeau will be the first Prime Minister in history to march in the Toronto Pride Parade.

Trudeau also attended Pride back in 2015 as leader of the Liberal party, before the Federal election, greeting large crowds alongside Premier Kathleen Wynne. Toronto Mayor John Tory and Finance Minister Bill Morneau are also set to participate in the parade.
