There’s some familiar sights and sounds in a video that was shared by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on social media this week.
“That’s the ION light rail, it runs through Kitchener-Waterloo,” said Trudeau in the video posted to X, as the LRT goes by in the background. “If you live near public transit like the ION, you get to spend less money on parking, less time stuck in traffic.”
Trudeau can be seen standing in Waterloo Park throughout the video.
He used the landmark as a backdrop to highlight his government’s investments in public transit and housing near transit corridors.
The video was filmed last week when Trudeau was in town for a meeting with Kitchener Mayor Berry Vrbanovic.
