Trudeau, Flaherty, Prentice take a quiet ride

Magna chairman Frank Stronach rolled quietly into town to promote his new electric car and to secure loans under the government’s automotive innovation fund.

Justin Trudeau takes a spin. When Trudeau’s aide Alex Lanthier saw the promo cars he quipped, “What? No red ones.” All the cars were blue.
