“Leveling The Playing Field”

 

If your name happens to be

Justin Trudeau, Justin Bieber, or

Justin Timberlake,

everyday Canadians

would be thrilled to take your picture

and

have a selfie with you.

 

For those less popular,

like the Environment Minister on an official trip to

Europe,

there is always a photographer for hire

– $6,600 for two weeks –

to be paid in full

by the same everyday Canadians.
