Former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was seen shopping for the first time since leaving office. He shared a selfie of the moment on his Instagram account, taken while shopping at Canadian Tire. In the photo, kitchenware is visible in his cart as he posed in the store's cooking section. Trudeau visited Canadian Tire on Monday morning, as he mentioned in his post's caption.

Trudeau had previously thanked Canadians in his last post as Prime Minister. On March 14, he wrote, "Thank you, Canada," and shared a similar message on X (formerly Twitter). Additionally, he updated his social media bio to read, "A father and former Prime Minister of Canada."

It’s important to note that Justin Trudeau resigned as Prime Minister on Friday, March 14, and on the same day, Mark Carney became the new leader of the Liberal Party and assumed office as Prime Minister of Canada.
