VICE Meets Justin Trudeau - Live
On Monday, October 5th, 2015 VICE Canada interviewed Liberal Party leader Justin Trudeau for the first town hall-style interview as part of Daily VICE Canada's Meet the Leaders series. The event was MC'd by Damian Abraham, a member of Canadian punk band Fucked Up, and focussed on issues of importance to young Canadians like the environment, missing and murdered Aboriginal women, cybersecurity, LGBT rights, and, well, weed.

During the 2015 Election, Patrick McGuire and the VICE Canada News team sat down with then-candidate Justin Trudeau for a live talk streamed to millions of Canadians via Facebook and VICE.com about underreported issues like access to clean water for Indigenous communities, surveillance, and the opioid crisis.
This talk was a landmark moment in the election cycle and pushed Trudeau to make an exclusive promise: that he would provide clean water to all Indigenous communities within five years.
