Managing Editor, Canada

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been spotted with a cane this week, after reportedly getting into a Frisbee accident over the weekend.

On Monday, May 31, the Liberal leader was seen walking with the support of a cane after announcing federal support for Black entrepreneurs.

According to a report from The Canadian Press, via CTV News, the PM had sprained his ankle while playing Frisbee with his children at home.

It's not clear how bad the injury is, or how long Trudeau will need to use the support, but a spokesperson from his office confirmed that he is otherwise feeling fine and continues to follow his doctor's orders.

The accident occurred in the same week that Justin and Sophie Gregoire Trudeau celebrated their 16th wedding anniversary. The couple celebrated the event by posting totally adorable throwback photos of one another. Aww!
