<p>&#8220;Took a road trip with Hadrien from Vancouver to Whistler and Victoria! Loads of fun activities together,&#8221; Trudeau wrote in the post&#8217;s caption.</p>
<p>After a steady dip in support and the <a href="https://dailyhive.com/canada/canadians-react-chrystia-freeland-resigning-cabinet" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sudden cabinet resignation</a> of former deputy prime minister Chrystia Freeland in December 2024, Trudeau announced he would <a href="https://dailyhive.com/canada/prime-minister-justin-trudeau-resignation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">resign as Liberal Party leader</a> and prime minister in January 2025.</p>
<h2>Trudeau shares love for B.C.</h2>
<p>While Trudeau may have clocked out of federal politics, B.C. continues to be one of his favourite backdrops.</p>
<p>Over the years, he’s made headlines for dining at <a href="https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/justin-trudeau-tasty-indian-bistro-delta" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tasty Indian Bistro in Delta,</a> popping into <a href="https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/trudeau-dines-at-white-spot-bc-burger-chain" target="_blank" rel="noopener">White Spot</a>, and making an appearance at the <a href="https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/justin-trudeau-fountainhead-pub-vancouver" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fountainhead Pub in Vancouver</a>.</p>
<p>During his time as prime minister, he also frequently vacationed in Tofino with his family.</p>
<p>Last year, Trudeau&#8217;s trip to the surf town was disrupted by a right-wing reporter who approached him while he was trying to enjoy a private outing with <a href="https://dailyhive.com/canada/trudeau-reporter-family-vacation-bc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">his kids on the beach</a>.</p>
<p>Since his resignation, Trudeau has also shared snapshots of his life out of office.</p>
<p>In March, he posted a selfie while casually shopping for home goods at Canadian Tire.</p>
