Justin Trudeau Brings Ivanka Trump to Broadway Show on Welcoming Outsiders

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada, whose emphasis on welcoming refugees has been at odds with the harsher stance of the Trump administration, on Wednesday night brought Ivanka Trumpto a Broadway show that celebrates generosity toward foreigners in need.

The surprise pairing at the new musical “Come From Away” was rich with symbolism, as Mr. Trudeau tries to maintain his country’s close relationship with the United States despite substantial differences in public policy. Ms. Trump, the president’s daughter and a close adviser, sat in Row F between Mr. Trudeau and Nikki R. Haley, the American ambassador to the United Nations, and directly behind a former Canadian prime minister, Jean Chrétien.

In brief remarks from the stage before the performance, Mr. Trudeau did not discuss government policy explicitly. Instead he focused on praising the show’s story, about a small town in Newfoundland that fed and housed thousands of air travelers from around the world, diverted when North American airspace was closed during the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

“The world gets to see what it is to lean on each other and be there for each other through the darkest times,” he said.

one, SunSeeker! I've been on a stress break for a few days while my daughter is visiting from Portland, Ore.. but, I didn't think things had changed that much!

Leave it to PM Trudeau to think of something like this.. he's the best. Positive!

Can imagine how the stupid grump took it.

The public won't hear about any hanky panky in that tabloid rag.

In case I don't get a chance later, Happy St. Patty's Day, Cha.

Sometimes those Matthew Mcconaughey-type heads don't age so well, though.



Or shit, look what happened to Chet Baker.



Just hope Justin doesn't smoke cigarettes.
