After spending a little over a week off the radar on a family vacation in British Columbia, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to make a brief — and, going by the language used in the advisory provided by his office, a deliberately low-profile — visit to Toronto today to pay his respects to the victims of last week’s mass shooting.

Although his official itinerary states only that he will be attending a “private event” — one that is, it notes “closed to media” — Canadian Press reports that Trudeau intends to join mourners at the public funeral for 18-year old Reese Fallon, which is set to take place in Scarborough this morning.

Later today, he’ll make his way downtown to the Alexander the Great Parkette at the corner of Danforth and Logan Avenue, where he’ll lay flowers at the growing memorial that has sprouted up around the fountain since the attack.

Also today: Amid reports that federal international trade deputy minister Timothy Sargent will join senior officials from Mexico, Japan, South Korea and the European Union in Geneva for a mini-summit on the latest threat by US President Donald Trump to impose stringent new tariffs on auto imports, Nova Scotia Premier Stephen McNeil is making the rounds in Washington, D.C., where he intends to make the case for protecting the sector from a move that could lead to job losses in the United States, as well as put his province’s pitch for foreign investment at risk.
