My guess is it's calculated. How many Belgian-Canadian votes are on the line? Remember, he snubbed the Belgians for a Florida vacation.Looking at this the relationship with Belgium certainly warrants Trudeau’s appearance. http://www.canadainternational.gc.c...ral_relations_bilaterales/index.aspx?lang=eng
Not to mention a top reason Canada joined the First World War was the Empire’s guarantee of Belgium security against the German invasion of 1914. There are Canadian troops buried across Belgium from both World Wars.

When the vacation was cancelled, another calculation had to be made: would the press criticize Trudeau for campaigning on taxpayer money while snubbing Belgian business, or would they praise him for caring about steel industry?
Looks like this issue is not quite done (hint, missing "p").
Once again, I ask, is there an overall lackadaisical attitude the permeates from the top?

Ouch. The @CanadianArmy misspells the King of Belgium's name. #BELCAN2018

Is this retaliation for that Walloon free trade stand-off?
