Yes, Toronto, Santa will be here for the annual Christmas parade

It was the Toronto municipal government, not the PM, who was first to put a present under the parade organizers' tree

Not many people would see Justin Trudeau as Santa Claus, but the prime minister did pledge to come to the rescue of the annual Santa Claus parade in Toronto, which turns 120 this December.

In an X post on Nov. 15 Trudeau wrote: “I heard that the (Santa Claus parade) is having a few challenges. So, we’re going to help them out. It’s a great tradition, and we want to keep it going for years to come.”
