Canadian leader Justin Trudeau wore a bulletproof vest and was surrounded by heavy security during an election campaign rally after receiving a security threat, sources told the national broadcaster.
Trudeau had body armor under his shirt and jacket, photos from the event showed, when he appeared an hour and a half late at the 2,000-strong meeting in a suburb of the capital Toronto on Saturday.
He doesn’t normally wear a jacket while campaigning.
As Trudeau left the stage to greet supporters he was surrounded by security officers, some with large backpacks on, footage showed.
