Canadian Prime Minister
Justin Trudeau donned a bulletproof vest for an
election campaign rally on Saturday, a Reuters eyewitness said, and the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. cited sources saying a security threat had been received.
Pictures taken by Reuters photographer Stephane Mahe at the event in the Ontario city of Mississauga outside
Toronto showed Trudeau wearing bulky protection under his shirt.
Police wearing backpacks surrounded Trudeau on stage for the first time since the start of a six-week election campaign leading up to what polls suggest will be a closely contested vote on Oct. 21.
