Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is to be commended for the way he dealt with an intrusive journalist while on a beach in Tofino this week.

It would have been easy for Trudeau’s security detail to prevent Keean Bexte, editor-in-chief of the conservative news outlet The Counter Signal, from asking questions or getting near the prime minister.

But as Bexte shouted questions on that windy beach, and the security detail stood in front of him, the prime minister approached and asked the journalist to “take a walk with me.”
